Most top tech companies bombard you with coding questions in their interviews these days. Often one or more of these are based on Recursion and Dynamic Programming (DP). Those topics can get gnarly and take time to get good at.

Coming off of a short session in the Silicon Valley Code Camp, we'll continue our journey into Recursion. We'll start with simple problems, try to identify patterns and then go into harder problems.
It's imperative to get good at Recursion in order to be better at DP. Once you have a handle on Recursion, we'll start with some simple DP problems. We'll travel thru memoization and understand why we shouldn't stop there.
Towards the other half, we'll take some classical and challenging DP problems, bordering the ones we see in Competitive Programming.
Come with a laptop, your favorite IDE and expect to write a lot of code in the session. To the extent you're comfortable with.
