EnumerativeCombinatorics's blog

By EnumerativeCombinatorics, history, 8 years ago, In English

Hello coders,

Today I'll introduce my new YouTube channel: Link

In this channel, I'll introduce many little tips that is not on textbooks but useful for problem solving. I've solved 4000+ programming problems overall and I got a lot of practical knowledge from that, so I want to explain various kind of educational approaches from my experiences. I'm not explaining how typical ones (such as segment trees or flow algorithms) work because a lot of better videos are already on YouTube, and I'm focusing on tricky techniques (and I'm sure that many redcoders know about these techniques). I think that most of those can be applied for only specific several problems, but those tips are very important to get higher places.

However, I'd like you to know that I began this channel for improving my English, so I'm sorry for my (currently) very poor English. I hope that I'll be better soon.

Feel free to comment about my videos here, or on YouTube.

Wow, it will be very informative for me. How often will you add videos?

Watching vids is quite time consuming. I think many people would prefer normal blog posts, especially if the tecniques are not widespread.

    On the contrary, taking the time to understand the writing of other people can be more difficult than watching a video. Everyone has their own writing style and if they already understand a topic well it may be difficult to take into account the difficulties a beginner faces, especially when it comes to only using words and pictures. A live demonstration in the video format is definitely useful to some.

    But blog posts would not help his (spoken) English, so they would kind of miss the point entirely of why he's doing this.

    Actually in a lot of cases it is about saving time :)

    There are lots of routines which you can do while listening to audiobook/youtube video, such that it is pretty uncomfortable to do that stuff while reading something.

    Simple example — walking on a street in your headphones is OK; do you think reading a book would fit there?

    Now I can't speak English so fast, so you can change the speed of videos to x1.25 or x1.5. YouTube has developed useful features for busy people (where nicovideo and other video websites ignore them).

Thanks for the channel! Your videos will be much more helpful if you could include links to example problems/ implementations of the idea explained along.

Cool, but how about speaking louder? I can't hear you even with the volume all the way up.

Vielen Dank (Thank you very much)

A question: Should we follow some order to watch your videos or just pick up randomly?

    I'm planning to post the new video, and I've decided some topics to talk about. However, I can't make time for recording now. I'm considering good ways to record.
