Request for new Track: Java Algorithm Design

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a request like this, but I'll ask anyway.

I would really really appreciate Team Treehouse's learning tactics, to help me improve my Java & Objective C Algorithm Design Skills.

Thanks for considering this request. It would make a huge positive difference for autodidact mobile software developers in a very competitive industry.

Thanks for the feedback. We don't have anything currently planned that's specific to algorithm as we are mostly focused on project-based courses (where you'll learn the algorithms needed for the specific projects). But it would definitely be helpful to cover as its own course, so it's something we need to think about.

I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but here are two places online you could get started with some learning and practice:

Monica - I'll take practical/project review any day over theory, but I very much understand what you're saying. I'm finishing up my CS degree and using Treehouse in addition to some supplemental info from books to brush-up for interviews. I put together a site for my algorithms class that you may find useful. It includes lots of psuedo code and actual code for several different algorithms. Happy Coding!

Thanks Ben. I refer to the vogella site often, it's a great resource. The oracle link is new to me and I'll check that out today.

I hope Treehouse creates an algorithm design course for both java and c soon, because Treehouse learning tactics are the best.

I have a few mobile apps in the stores and they do well. However, working alone so much lately and focusing on eclipse or xcode features has made me weak when it comes to discussing computer science terminology during technical interviews (so awkward, yikes).

When Treehouse does have an algorithm design course available, I swear I'm going to throw an online party to celebrate that awesomeness!

Yeah, I think everyone gets nervous/weak when discussing stuff during technical interviews. It's so much better when you can show (or even write) code. :)

JT Keller, Thank you so much! I really appreciate that and I'm going to start going through your website today.
