I recently moved back to Seattle, WA from Miami, FL. I am happy to be in Seattle again.
Two best web sites for interview preparation.
I use two very nice sites to review algorithms, data structures and gain my programming problem solving skill.
First http://www.hackerrank.com – very cool interactive site.
Second http://www.leetcode.com – more than 600 problems with solutions.
I recommend those resources for everyone who is going to apply for interview in tech companies.
My accounts: https://leetcode.com/dmsus/ & https://www.hackerrank.com/coderdms
Good blog if you want to review testing.
The book I’ve read. Python for kids.
Python for kids is very easy going beginners book. It teachs you some syntax and basic fundamentals of programming through creation two games. I like it, it was fun to follow all steps.
The book I’ve read. Absolute Beginner’s guide to C.
I’ve read read “Absolute Beginner’s guide to C” because it was recommended by Harvard’s MOOC course CS50. I did not find this book very good. It teachs you only syntax but not actual programming skill, I think if you decide to study C you need to combine this book with classic “The C Programming Language” Kernighan and Ritchie.
The book I’ve read. How computers work.
Before I start to program I watched some videos from Harvard MOOC course CS50. They recommended this book. I liked it. It explains history, software, hardware. Everybody can read it.

The book I’ve read and studied. Head First Java.
I’ve read and studied through examples book “Head First Java” O’REILLY. I have the final program in my GitHub repository https://github.com/dmsus/BeatBox . I did not like the book layout I understand authors try their best to make it “not boring” but after I read so many other technical book I prefer classic layout.
The book I’ve read My life as Quant .
Programming, Finance and Math often go together so it was interesting to read Emanuel Derman’s memoirs.
The book I’ve read Eric Sink on the Business of Software
Eric Sink on the Business of Software. If you like startup reading this one is good. The author wrote the book about his own company , mistakes he made.
I’ve finished Introduction to Mathematical thinking course.
I’ve finished Introduction to Mathematical thinking course on coursera.org
I’ve finished Introduction to Linux course.
I’ve finished Introduction to Linux course in 2014 on Edx.org site.
The book I’ve read. How to become a software tester.
The book “How to become a software tester” Roman Savenkov shows you real word examples of manual tester work. I’ve read it because testing is part of software development.
The book I read. Thinking in Java.
Thinking in Java. Bruce Eckel.
If you want to know Java Core you have to read this book.
The book I’ve study. Sedgewick.
Introduction to programming in java an interdisciplinary approach. Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne. Very good book for beginners.
The book I’ve read. The Mythical Man-month.
The Mythical Man-month.
Interesting book that shows us technologies change every year , but people don’t. We still have same problems that engineers in the past.
The book I’ve read. Code complete
Code complete. Steve McConnell.
Big book about good style of coding. A lot of information how to call variables.
Hello World!
Today I decide to start this blog to track my progress. I’ve do Java programming for 2 years and want to have a place in internet related to my education. I’ve graduated in Far Eastern Federal University, you see the campus on the picture.
