Coding Interview University is a multi-month self-study plan that grew from a short personal to-do list into a comprehensive roadmap for preparing technical interviews at large software companies. The author used this plan to transition into a Software Development Engineer role at Amazon and emphasizes that most learners will not need to study as many hours to succeed. The repository focuses on practical readiness over memorization, guiding you to learn core computer science topics to about a 75% depth that is sufficient for interviews. It outlines how to choose one primary programming language, recommends foundational books, and explains an effective daily routine of studying concepts then implementing them from scratch. The plan includes extensive topic coverage from algorithms and data structures to systems fundamentals, plus optional advanced areas for deeper growth.
