We are happy to invite you to the first tech workshop for the new year - Graph Algorithms 101, facilitated by Nikolay Penchev, Senior Software Engineer at Questers. During the event, you will learn how to analyse the time and space complexity of algorithms.
Nikolay will start with an in-depth study about algorithms in three presentational parts and will gradually build-up with practical exercises focusing on binary trees, a simple but crucial form of graph. The whole day, he will moderate discussions in which all attendees can ask questions and view numerous case studies through different perspectives.
And, of course, what's a workshop without good food? Everyone will enjoy delicious pizza and socializing with like-minded colleagues. Don’t miss out and take sure to join us!
Registration is free, but required.
