#I attach this. No one claiming to be my fiancé or boyfriend is unreasonable if they hinder my work success. From the start, I suspect the government of my country, Indonesia. I envy the performance of disciplined countries like Singapore and China. China is a country with a majority anti-corruption discipline. The government's mistake in trapping companies that only benefit the community would be much better. Please inform the team. Decide on funding for them. Acknowledging themselves as something that once lived with you. In fact, I parted ways with a heart that was willing if it was just a temporary date. Thank you, team. Do you know what I mean by the prologue sentence above? It is a form of morality in life. It is truly difficult to work together to create together in a team even though hundreds of kilometers away in a country very far from Langsa.

There is no development arrangement in an irrational way and no responsibility on behalf of the wife and fiancé. Scale development is a minority party in social policy according to program regulations determined diplomatically, nor is it negotiating in ACT, rapid response action in religious diversity worship, we declare. It is legitimate if it happens within a week, then we will summon the largest convicted corruption suspect, namely the president of the country's social position, he is a social behavior in carrying out the three mandates of the state, according to national law, according to the law of "religious" worship, according to the law of social biology in medicine, to VIP remote workers, WFH to permanent workers "employees" /

It looks like you’re referring to “source code services vulnerabilities (Vulners) complete”, but the phrasing is a bit unclear. I’ll break down the likely meaning and give you a useful, complete overview.

---

1. What “Vulners” is

Vulners is a vulnerability intelligence platform and database. It aggregates data about security issues such as:

• CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)
• Exploits
• Security advisories
• Patches and fixes

It’s commonly used in:

• Penetration testing
• Security research
• Threat intelligence
• Vulnerability scanning tools

---

2. “Source Code Services” in this context

If you mean source code services, that usually refers to platforms like:

• Git repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
• Internal code hosting systems
• CI/CD pipelines

These services can have vulnerabilities such as:

• Exposed secrets (API keys, passwords)
• Misconfigured access controls
• Insecure dependencies
• Injection flaws in code

---

3. “Vulners complete” — possible interpretations

A. Full vulnerability database access

You might be looking for:

• A complete dump of Vulners data
• API access to retrieve all vulnerabilities

Typical approach:

• Use Vulners API
• Query CVEs, exploits, or packages

Example (conceptually):

GET https://vulners.com/api/v3/search/lucene/?query=type:cve

---

B. Complete vulnerability scan for source code

If your goal is scanning code using Vulners data:

You’d combine:

• Static analysis tools (SAST)
• Dependency scanners
• Vulners API for enrichment

Common workflow:

1. Scan dependencies (e.g., npm, pip, Maven)
2. Match versions against CVEs
3. Pull exploit info from Vulners
4. Generate report

---

C. Searching vulnerabilities in specific software

Example:

• “Show all vulnerabilities in OpenSSL”
• “List exploits for Apache”

---

4. Example Use Cases

Dependency vulnerability check

• Input: package.json

• Output:

  • Vulnerable libraries
  • CVE IDs
  • Severity scores
  • Fix versions

Security auditing

• Map code → dependencies → CVEs

• Use Vulners to enrich results with:

  • Exploit availability
  • References
  • Risk prioritization

---

5. Important note

If you’re trying to get:

• “Complete vulnerability data” → use API + pagination
• “Complete scan of your code” → use SAST + dependency scanners
• “Exploit database” → Vulners includes exploit references but not always full PoC code

---

6. If you want something specific

Tell me what you meant by “complete”, for example:

• Full Vulners API usage?
• Scan your code/project?
• Find vulnerabilities in a specific software?
• Build your own vulnerability scanner?

I can give you a step-by-step setup or even code examples.

I originally created this as a short to-do list of study topics for becoming a software engineer, but it grew to the large list you see today. After going through this study plan, I got hired as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon! You probably won't have to study as much as I did. Anyway, everything you need is here.

I studied about 8-12 hours a day, for several months. This is my story: Why I studied full-time for 8 months for a Google interview

The items listed here will prepare you well for an interview at just about any software company, including the giants: Amazon, Facebook, Google or Microsoft.

Best of luck to you!

What is it?

This is my multi-month study plan for going from web developer (self-taught, no CS degree) to software engineer for a large company.

This is meant for new software engineers or those switching from software/web development to software engineering (where computer science knowledge is required). If you have many years of experience and are claiming many years of software engineering experience, expect a harder interview.

If you have many years of software/web development experience, note that large software companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft view software engineering as different from software/web development, and they require computer science knowledge.

If you want to be a reliability engineer or operations engineer, study more from the optional list (networking, security).

Why use it?

When I started this project, I didn't know a stack from a heap, didn't know Big-O anything, anything about trees, or how to traverse a graph. If I had to code a sorting algorithm, I can tell ya it wouldn't have been very good. Every data structure I've ever used was built into the language, and I didn't know how they worked under the hood at all. I've never had to manage memory unless a process I was running would give an "out of memory" error, and then I'd have to find a workaround. I've used a few multidimensional arrays in my life and thousands of associative arrays, but I've never created data structures from scratch.

It's a long plan. It may take you months. If you are familiar with a lot of this already it will take you a lot less time.

How to use it

How to use it

Everything below is an outline, and you should tackle the items in order from top to bottom.

I'm using Github's special markdown flavor, including tasks lists to check progress.

Create a new branch so you can check items like this, just put an x in the brackets: [x]

Fork a branch and follow the commands below

git checkout -b progress

git remote add jwasham https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university

git fetch --all

Mark all boxes with X after you completed your changes

git add .

git commit -m "Marked x"

git rebase jwasham/master

git push --force

Don't feel you aren't smart enough

• Successful software engineers are smart, but many have an insecurity that they aren't smart enough.
• The myth of the Genius Programmer
• It's Dangerous to Go Alone: Battling the Invisible Monsters in Tech
• Believe you can change
• Think you're not smart enough to work at Google? Well, think again

About Video Resources

Some videos are available only by enrolling in a Coursera or EdX class. These are called MOOCs. Sometimes the classes are not in session so you have to wait a couple of months, so you have no access.

I'd appreciate your help to add free and always-available public sources, such as YouTube videos to accompany the online course videos.
I like using university lectures.

Pick One Language for the Interview

You can use a language you are comfortable in to do the coding part of the interview, but for large companies, these are solid choices:

• C++
• Java
• Python

You could also use these, but read around first. There may be caveats:

• JavaScript
• Ruby

Here is an article I wrote about choosing a language for the interview: Pick One Language for the Coding Interview

You need to be very comfortable in the language and be knowledgeable.

Read more about choices:

• http://www.byte-by-byte.com/choose-the-right-language-for-your-coding-interview/
• http://blog.codingforinterviews.com/best-programming-language-jobs/

See language resources here

You'll see some C, C++, and Python learning included below, because I'm learning. There are a few books involved, see the bottom.

Book List

This is a shorter list than what I used. This is abbreviated to save you time.

Interview Prep

• Programming Interviews Exposed: Coding Your Way Through the Interview, 4nd Edition
  • answers in C++ and Java
  • this is a good warm-up for Cracking the Coding Interview
  • not too difficult, most problems may be easier than what you'll see in an interview (from what I've read)
• Cracking the Coding Interview, 6th Edition
  • answers in Java

If you have tons of extra time:

Choose one:

• Elements of Programming Interviews (C++ version)
• Elements of Programming Interviews (Java version)
  • book
  • Companion Project - Method Stub and Test Cases for Every Problem in the Book

Computer Architecture

• Write Great Code: Volume 1: Understanding the Machine

  • The book was published in 2004, and is somewhat outdated, but it's a terrific resource for understanding a computer in brief.

  • The author invented HLA, so take mentions and examples in HLA with a grain of salt. Not widely used, but decent examples of what assembly looks like.

  • These chapters are worth the read to give you a nice foundation:

    ......

    • Chapter 2 - Numeric Representation
    • Chapter 3 - Binary Arithmetic and Bit Operations
    • Chapter 4 - Floating-Point Representation
    • Chapter 5 - Character Representation
    • Chapter 6 - Memory Organization and Access
    • Chapter 7 - Composite Data Types and Memory Objects
    • Chapter 9 - CPU Architecture
    • Chapter 10 - Instruction Set Architecture
    • Chapter 11 - Memory Architecture and Organization

Language Specific

You need to choose a language for the interview (see above).

Here are my recommendations by language. I don't have resources for all languages. I welcome additions.

If you read through one of these, you should have all the data structures and algorithms knowledge you'll need to start doing coding problems. You can skip all the video lectures in this project, unless you'd like a review.

Additional language-specific resources here.

C++

C++

I haven't read these two, but they are highly rated and written by Sedgewick. He's awesome.

• Algorithms in C++, Parts 1-4: Fundamentals, Data Structure, Sorting, Searching
• Algorithms in C++ Part 5: Graph Algorithms

If you have a better recommendation for C++, please let me know. Looking for a comprehensive resource.

Java

  • videos with book content (and Sedgewick!) on coursera:
    • Algorithms I
    • Algorithms II

OR:

• Data Structures and Algorithms in Java
  • by Goodrich, Tamassia, Goldwasser
  • used as optional text for CS intro course at UC Berkeley
  • see my book report on the Python version below. This book covers the same topics.

Before you Get Started

This list grew over many months, and yes, it kind of got out of hand.

Here are some mistakes I made so you'll have a better experience.

1. You Won't Remember it All

I watched hours of videos and took copious notes, and months later there was much I didn't remember. I spent 3 days going through my notes and making flashcards so I could review.

Read please so you won't make my mistakes:

Retaining Computer Science Knowledge

2. Use Flashcards

To solve the problem, I made a little flashcards site where I could add flashcards of 2 types: general and code. Each card has different formatting.

I made a mobile-first website so I could review on my phone and tablet, wherever I am.

Make your own for free:

• Flashcards site repo
• My flash cards database (old - 1200 cards):
• My flash cards database (new - 1800 cards):

Keep in mind I went overboard and have cards covering everything from assembly language and Python trivia to machine learning and statistics. It's way too much for what's required.

Note on flashcards: The first time you recognize you know the answer, don't mark it as known. You have to see the same card and answer it several times correctly before you really know it. Repetition will put that knowledge deeper in your brain.

An alternative to using my flashcard site is Anki, which has been recommended to me numerous times. It uses a repetition system to help you remember. It's user-friendly, available on all platforms and has a cloud sync system. It costs $25 on iOS but is free on other platforms.

My flashcard database in Anki format: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/25173560 (thanks @xiewenya)

3. Review, review, review

I keep a set of cheat sheets on ASCII, OSI stack, Big-O notations, and more. I study them when I have some spare time.

Take a break from programming problems for a half hour and go through your flashcards.

4. Focus

There are a lot of distractions that can take up valuable time. Focus and concentration are hard.

What you won't see covered

These are prevalent technologies but not part of this study plan:

• SQL
• Javascript
• HTML, CSS, and other front-end technologies

The Daily Plan

Some subjects take one day, and some will take multiple days. Some are just learning with nothing to implement.

Each day I take one subject from the list below, watch videos about that subject, and write an implementation in:

• C - using structs and functions that take a struct * and something else as args.
• C++ - without using built-in types
• C++ - using built-in types, like STL's std::list for a linked list
• Python - using built-in types (to keep practicing Python)
• and write tests to ensure I'm doing it right, sometimes just using simple assert() statements
• You may do Java or something else, this is just my thing.

You don't need all these. You need only one language for the interview.

Why code in all of these?

• Practice, practice, practice, until I'm sick of it, and can do it with no problem (some have many edge cases and bookkeeping details to remember)
• Work within the raw constraints (allocating/freeing memory without help of garbage collection (except Python or Java))
• Make use of built-in types so I have experience using the built-in tools for real-world use (not going to write my own linked list implementation in production)

I may not have time to do all of these for every subject, but I'll try.

You can see my code here:

• C
• C++
• Python

You don't need to memorize the guts of every algorithm.

Write code on a whiteboard or paper, not a computer. Test with some sample inputs. Then test it out on a computer.

  • Implement a vector (mutable array with automatic resizing):
    • Practice coding using arrays and pointers, and pointer math to jump to an index instead of using indexing.
    • new raw data array with allocated memory
      • can allocate int array under the hood, just not use its features
      • start with 16, or if starting number is greater, use power of 2 - 16, 32, 64, 128
    • size() - number of items
    • capacity() - number of items it can hold
    • is_empty()
    • at(index) - returns item at given index, blows up if index out of bounds
    • push(item)
    • insert(index, item) - inserts item at index, shifts that index's value and trailing elements to the right
    • prepend(item) - can use insert above at index 0
    • pop() - remove from end, return value
    • delete(index) - delete item at index, shifting all trailing elements left
    • remove(item) - looks for value and removes index holding it (even if in multiple places)
    • find(item) - looks for value and returns first index with that value, -1 if not found
    • resize(new_capacity) // private function
      • when you reach capacity, resize to double the size
      • when popping an item, if size is 1/4 of capacity, resize to half
  • Time
    • O(1) to add/remove at end (amortized for allocations for more space), index, or update
    • O(n) to insert/remove elsewhere
  • Space
    • contiguous in memory, so proximity helps performance
    • space needed = (array capacity, which is >= n) * size of item, but even if 2n, still O(n)

• Linked Lists

    • CS 61B - Linked Lists 1 (video)
    • CS 61B - Linked Lists 2 (video)
  • C Code (video) - not the whole video, just portions about Node struct and memory allocation.
  • Linked List vs Arrays:
    • Core Linked Lists Vs Arrays (video)
    • In The Real World Linked Lists Vs Arrays (video)
  • why you should avoid linked lists (video)
  • Gotcha: you need pointer to pointer knowledge: (for when you pass a pointer to a function that may change the address where that pointer points) This page is just to get a grasp on ptr to ptr. I don't recommend this list traversal style. Readability and maintainability suffer due to cleverness.
    • Pointers to Pointers
  • implement (I did with tail pointer & without):
    • size() - returns number of data elements in list
    • empty() - bool returns true if empty
    • value_at(index) - returns the value of the nth item (starting at 0 for first)
    • push_front(value) - adds an item to the front of the list
    • pop_front() - remove front item and return its value
    • push_back(value) - adds an item at the end
    • pop_back() - removes end item and returns its value
    • front() - get value of front item
    • back() - get value of end item
    • insert(index, value) - insert value at index, so current item at that index is pointed to by new item at index
    • erase(index) - removes node at given index
    • value_n_from_end(n) - returns the value of the node at nth position from the end of the list
    • reverse() - reverses the list
    • remove_value(value) - removes the first item in the list with this value
  • Doubly-linked List
    • Description (video)
    • No need to implement

• Stack

  • Stacks (video)
  • Using Stacks Last-In First-Out (video)
  • Will not implement. Implementing with array is trivial.

• Queue

  • Using Queues First-In First-Out(video)
  • Queue (video)
  • Circular buffer/FIFO
  • Priority Queues (video)
  • Implement using linked-list, with tail pointer:
    • enqueue(value) - adds value at position at tail
    • dequeue() - returns value and removes least recently added element (front)
    • empty()
  • Implement using fixed-sized array:
    • enqueue(value) - adds item at end of available storage
    • dequeue() - returns value and removes least recently added element
    • empty()
    • full()
  • Cost:
    • a bad implementation using linked list where you enqueue at head and dequeue at tail would be O(n) because you'd need the next to last element, causing a full traversal each dequeue
    • enqueue: O(1) (amortized, linked list and array [probing])
    • dequeue: O(1) (linked list and array)

Sorting

Sorting

• Notes:

  • Implement sorts & know best case/worst case, average complexity of each:
    • no bubble sort - it's terrible - O(n^2), except when n <= 16
  • stability in sorting algorithms ("Is Quicksort stable?")
    • Sorting Algorithm Stability
    • Stability In Sorting Algorithms
    • Stability In Sorting Algorithms
    • Sorting Algorithms - Stability
  • Which algorithms can be used on linked lists? Which on arrays? Which on both?
    • I wouldn't recommend sorting a linked list, but merge sort is doable.
    • Merge Sort For Linked List

• For heapsort, see Heap data structure above. Heap sort is great, but not stable.

Graphs

Graphs

Graphs can be used to represent many problems in computer science, so this section is long, like trees and sorting were.

• Notes:

  • There are 4 basic ways to represent a graph in memory:
    • objects and pointers
    • adjacency matrix
    • adjacency list
    • adjacency map
  • Familiarize yourself with each representation and its pros & cons
  • BFS and DFS - know their computational complexity, their tradeoffs, and how to implement them in real code
  • When asked a question, look for a graph-based solution first, then move on if none.

  • You probably won't see any dynamic programming problems in your interview, but it's worth being able to recognize a problem as being a candidate for dynamic programming.
  • This subject can be pretty difficult, as each DP soluble problem must be defined as a recursion relation, and coming up with it can be tricky.
  • I suggest looking at many examples of DP problems until you have a solid understanding of the pattern involved.

System Design, Scalability, Data Handling

System Design, Scalability, Data Handling

You can expect system design questions if you have 4+ years of experience.

• Scalability and System Design are very large topics with many topics and resources, since there is a lot to consider when designing a software/hardware system that can scale. Expect to spend quite a bit of time on this.
• Considerations:
  • scalability
    • Distill large data sets to single values
    • Transform one data set to another
    • Handling obscenely large amounts of data
  • system design
    • features sets
    • interfaces
    • class hierarchies
    • designing a system under certain constraints
    • simplicity and robustness
    • tradeoffs

• Practicing the system design process: Here are some ideas to try working through on paper, each with some documentation on how it was handled in the real world:
  • review: The System Design Primer
  • System Design from HiredInTech
  • cheat sheet
  • flow:
    1. Understand the problem and scope:
       • define the use cases, with interviewer's help
       • suggest additional features
       • remove items that interviewer deems out of scope
       • assume high availability is required, add as a use case
    2. Think about constraints:
       • ask how many requests per month
       • ask how many requests per second (they may volunteer it or make you do the math)
       • estimate reads vs. writes percentage
       • keep 80/20 rule in mind when estimating
       • how much data written per second
       • total storage required over 5 years
       • how much data read per second
    3. Abstract design:
       • layers (service, data, caching)
       • infrastructure: load balancing, messaging
       • rough overview of any key algorithm that drives the service
       • consider bottlenecks and determine solutions
  • Exercises:

Coding Question Practice

Coding Question Practice

Now that you know all the computer science topics above, it's time to practice answering coding problems.

Coding question practice is not about memorizing answers to programming problems.

Why you need to practice doing programming problems:

• problem recognition, and where the right data structures and algorithms fit in
• gathering requirements for the problem
• talking your way through the problem like you will in the interview
• coding on a whiteboard or paper, not a computer
• coming up with time and space complexity for your solutions
• testing your solutions

There is a great intro for methodical, communicative problem solving in an interview. You'll get this from the programming interview books, too, but I found this outstanding: Algorithm design canvas

No whiteboard at home? That makes sense. I'm a weirdo and have a big whiteboard. Instead of a whiteboard, pick up a large drawing pad from an art store. You can sit on the couch and practice. This is my "sofa whiteboard". I added the pen in the photo for scale. If you use a pen, you'll wish you could erase. Gets messy quick.

Supplemental:

• Mathematics for Topcoders
• Dynamic Programming – From Novice to Advanced
• MIT Interview Materials
• Exercises for getting better at a given language

Be thinking of for when the interview comes

Think of about 20 interview questions you'll get, along with the lines of the items below. Have 2-3 answers for each. Have a story, not just data, about something you accomplished.

• Why do you want this job?
• What's a tough problem you've solved?
• Biggest challenges faced?
• Best/worst designs seen?
• Ideas for improving an existing product.
• How do you work best, as an individual and as part of a team?
• Which of your skills or experiences would be assets in the role and why?
• What did you most enjoy at [job x / project y]?
• What was the biggest challenge you faced at [job x / project y]?
• What was the hardest bug you faced at [job x / project y]?
• What did you learn at [job x / project y]?
• What would you have done better at [job x / project y]?

Have questions for the interviewer

Some of mine (I already may know answer to but want their opinion or team perspective):

• How large is your team?
• What does your dev cycle look like? Do you do waterfall/sprints/agile?
• Are rushes to deadlines common? Or is there flexibility?
• How are decisions made in your team?
• How many meetings do you have per week?
• Do you feel your work environment helps you concentrate?
• What are you working on?
• What do you like about it?
• What is the work life like?

Once You've Got The Job

Congratulations!

Keep learning.

You're never really done.

        • is a good review as any algorithms textbook would be
        • nice stories from his experiences solving problems in industry and academia
        • code examples in C
      • cons:
        • can be as dense or impenetrable as CLRS, and in some cases, CLRS may be a better alternative for some subjects
        • chapters 7, 8, 9 can be painful to try to follow, as some items are not explained well or require more brain than I have
        • don't get me wrong: I like Skiena, his teaching style, and mannerisms, but I may not be Stony Brook material.

• Balanced search trees

  • Know at least one type of balanced binary tree (and know how it's implemented):

  • "Among balanced search trees, AVL and 2/3 trees are now passé, and red-black trees seem to be more popular. A particularly interesting self-organizing data structure is the splay tree, which uses rotations to move any accessed key to the root." - Skiena

  • Of these, I chose to implement a splay tree. From what I've read, you won't implement a balanced search tree in your interview. But I wanted exposure to coding one up and let's face it, splay trees are the bee's knees. I did read a lot of red-black tree code.

    • splay tree: insert, search, delete functions If you end up implementing red/black tree try just these:
    • search and insertion functions, skipping delete

  • I want to learn more about B-Tree since it's used so widely with very large data sets.

  • Self-balancing binary search tree

  • AVL trees

    • In practice: From what I can tell, these aren't used much in practice, but I could see where they would be: The AVL tree is another structure supporting O(log n) search, insertion, and removal. It is more rigidly balanced than red–black trees, leading to slower insertion and removal but faster retrieval. This makes it attractive for data structures that may be built once and loaded without reconstruction, such as language dictionaries (or program dictionaries, such as the opcodes of an assembler or interpreter).

    • AVL Tree Implementation (video)

  • Splay trees

    • In practice: Splay trees are typically used in the implementation of caches, memory allocators, routers, garbage collectors, data compression, ropes (replacement of string used for long text strings), in Windows NT (in the virtual memory, networking and file system code) etc.

      • Video

  • Red/black trees

    • these are a translation of a 2-3 tree (see below)
    • In practice: Red–black trees offer worst-case guarantees for insertion time, deletion time, and search time. Not only does this make them valuable in time-sensitive applications such as real-time applications, but it makes them valuable building blocks in other data structures which provide worst-case guarantees; for example, many data structures used in computational geometry can be based on red–black trees, and the Completely Fair Scheduler used in current Linux kernels uses red–black trees. In the version 8 of Java, the Collection HashMap has been modified such that instead of using a LinkedList to store identical elements with poor hashcodes, a Red-Black tree is used.

    • An Introduction To Binary Search And Red Black Tree

  • 2-3 search trees

    • In practice: 2-3 trees have faster inserts at the expense of slower searches (since height is more compared to AVL trees).
    • You would use 2-3 tree very rarely because its implementation involves different types of nodes. Instead, people use Red Black trees.
    • 23-Tree Intuition and Definition (video)
    • Binary View of 23-Tree
    • 2-3 Trees (student recitation) (video)

  • 2-3-4 Trees (aka 2-4 trees)

    • In practice: For every 2-4 tree, there are corresponding red–black trees with data elements in the same order. The insertion and deletion operations on 2-4 trees are also equivalent to color-flipping and rotations in red–black trees. This makes 2-4 trees an important tool for understanding the logic behind red–black trees, and this is why many introductory algorithm texts introduce 2-4 trees just before red–black trees, even though 2-4 trees are not often used in practice.

    • Bottom Up 234-Trees (video)
    • Top Down 234-Trees (video)

  • N-ary (K-ary, M-ary) trees

    • note: the N or K is the branching factor (max branches)
    • binary trees are a 2-ary tree, with branching factor = 2
    • 2-3 trees are 3-ary
    • K-Ary Tree

  • B-Trees

    • fun fact: it's a mystery, but the B could stand for Boeing, Balanced, or Bayer (co-inventor)
    • In Practice: B-Trees are widely used in databases. Most modern filesystems use B-trees (or Variants). In addition to its use in databases, the B-tree is also used in filesystems to allow quick random access to an arbitrary block in a particular file. The basic problem is turning the file block i address into a disk block (or perhaps to a cylinder-head-sector) address.
