Hey eeeverrrybody. So if my brain melted, and I only understood about half of this, where do I got to learn more to better understand this? I love this stuff, but my melon can only retain/understand so much without going insane.


Try implementing some of the data structures and throw some toy problems at them. That's a really good way to get a feel for them. I've done that with AI algorithms, and I found that it really helps solidify the concepts because sometimes the results don't make sense and I have to figure out "why". Implementing the algorithms forces you to do a deep dive, but at a pace that hopefully won't fry your brain. Don't overlook the papers that the author linked to at the bottom if the article.

Edited to fix my phone's auto-corrections.
