Five markers of a good project: 1. Very visually engaging 2. Wow factor 3. Interactivity 4. Easy for someone to understand 5. Did you learn something while making it

Who else is embarrassed by how insane these projects are compared to ur own?

he just called me stupid for 17 minutes

hmmm, suddenly I don't feel like applying to google anymore.

I can also do that card trick. I use the pause button on my camera though.

When I was learning Dijkstra/Bellman-Ford during the past semester, our professor introduced this tool to help us visualize what was really going on. Now I realized that this is made by you. It's a very cool project and it helped me a lot. Thanks!

Clement: Own programming language Me: *ah yes, another weather/todo/web app*

The Path finder algorithm project was something next level... Really liked it.. Those were really great projects.. 🙌🙌

im surprised! i was in a dead end with my C# project called maze randomizer and solver, but when i saw your pathfinder project it kinda give me a hint on what to do. thank you and keep up the great videos

Dude, your projects are extremely clean and well thought out! Good job!!

"Moving down to the less interesting projects, we decided to create a programming language with an interpreter for it." Okay

Simply awesome, your first two projects blew me away. Both are great to demo, particularly your pathfinding visualizer.

OMG this is so cool!!! Basically even a newbie in computer science can understand the algorithm by visualizing!

I really like how you can visualize the difference in run time required in dijkstras vs A*. I remember from my AI class that A* needs to visit less nodes and so on average it is quicker than Dijkstras, but this is really a great way to visualize it. Awesome projects!

Very nice projects, great tips even though i’m not going for a software interview

Thanks man, you just gave me a 17:46 min video that explains in details why I'm not being hired by google in this lifetime. Saved me the time of applying, really thanks😅

I've watched about 5 videos of yours over the last few days, and I gotta say, you are great. Thanks man!

If you are just starting out, please do not ditch your CRUD project because of these mind blowing Algo projects. Complete your "beginner" project , then move up to something more challenging and so on. Eventually you will arrive here. Btw, you are a genius Clement

Flex all you want. These are amazing and you worked very hard for it!

Very cool! Thank you for making this video. I'm an android engineer and this has inspired me to make a project just like your path finding visualizer!

be aware man fb may fire you if your channel got big x)

Glad I found this video. I’m about to enter a coding boot camp and really enjoyed seeing your projects and hearing your tips for what makes a great project. I will definitely keep all that in mind. Thanks!

Amazing stuff, I am simply blown away by your creative implementation of algorithms into a fun and visually compelling program.

This channel has the most amazing starting 10 seconds

It’s really an mind open video for me to consider new projects that I’m gonna spend time on

I have been having trouble with Algorithms and your projects are a great help. It makes learning much much easier than reading it in just words. Thanks

I love how you explained the appeal of each project with those criteria.

Wow. You deserve all the good things that are coming to you. Bless!

Absolutely amazed. It was super awesome! So cool. Loved it :)

thanks for this video Clement!! it’s so inspiring and as always, you are brilliant. thanks! 👍🏾

I actually think that your third project is very very impressive! Thank you for sharing with us.

Amazing work as always clement! Coming to the projects, absolute insanity. Some of the finest projects I've ever seen. Would love to see some tutorials on python projects!

Making an interpreter is like going to the moon for me.

I really love your content Clement! Been working on AlgoExpert since a few weeks and really am making decent progress. Love the content and you are a great teacher! Big thanks from germany! Who knows, maybe in a couple of years im fortunate enough to be working with you :). Hope youre having a great day!

the simplest, best and most useful tips in my life. thank you a lot. the video was amazing

most important thing I got from you how you connected to recruiter, which you explained earlier and how you were "living and breathing code"!

Loved the intro trick, you do some great sleight of hand

I really loved the Shortest Path visualisation project Clèment !!! ❤️❤️❤️

Awesome video Clement! Love that path finder!

He did those projects after few montha of coding. Nice job. I am into programming for about 5 months and currently learning vue js. The process of learning is slow for me, but I will never give up.

great man ,you make everything sound very easy . thanks

Thank you for this sir it gives me ideas for my own it seems it’s important to relate them all back to computing principles as opposed to the cool mindless but interactive stuff I was doing

Very insightful, Clément, thanks.

i have used a few interview prep tools like "cracking the coding interview" and "interview cake" , they are really really good but "algo expert" is 'da bomb" .. just though to say that .. great job Clement 👍

visual wow factor interactivity easy to understand taught you something

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. It really does help me with my own project!

Dude you're vids are pure gold. Such awesome, genuine and insightful content, a thousand thumbs up!! ❤❤

Hmm, gave me some ideas for my own new projects. I have a feeling I'm going to be dipping my toes into algorithm visualizations a bit more now.

For my CS degree, we built a programming language and interpreter in our second intro to CS class, so I totally see how he considers the language and interpreter to be less impressive than the first two (because it is). It may sound complicated but it really isn't.

Good video. On the subject of the interpreter project, years ago when I was learning a lot of programming languages (as a hobby) one of the exercises I'd do to see if I understood them and could write fluent code in the new language was to write a Logo interpreter and execution runtime (sometimes they ended up being the same thing, sometimes I built an AST and then executed that). That was quite nice as I ended up with something visual and interactive too that I could show people - though back in those days there wasn't so much of a culture of having a programming portfolio outside of work projects.

Your first project is incredible man good stuff fr

Really insightful video. 👌🏻 It’s amazing how you took something as simple as algorithms and converted them into a visual project. Gave me a lot of ideas for my projects as well. Great video 👍🏻. Keep it up.

The first one is the most eye-catching

You are amazing!! Good job! I loved this video!

Been following your channel for a while, love your content.

I love this so much! This is terrific! I love visualizations. I just started a KZfaq channel and uploaded my very first video based on Tensorflow! 😊 I'm going to see what kind of projects I can start to incorporate some visualizations. Thanks for the awesome video! Have a splendid day! 😃

Wow, very impressive visualization! I learned a lot just watching!

Superb stuff you're building. Best inspirational one. Thanks for your great video ❤️

Thnkx for sharing ur experience and insights clement, really appreciate it :)

Hey, May i know which dashboard template did you use for the Pathfinding Visualizer, I remember seeing that at my internship, but ain't able to recall.

explaining card trick: doublelift, card is on top, after he shuffles, card is still on top, then card pulled out, doublelift to reveal king, when he lifts the king, the 3 is under it, then he spins it off camera, revealing 3:)

Damn this stuff is really cool! I'm currently building my portfolio for a career in game development - and seeing this stuff if really motivating. In my opinion the path finding visual tool is the best - but the interpreter is also awesome! It seems like a really cool thing to learn how to do.

This is exactly the kind of video I was searching for. It was very impressive and inspiring. Thank you very much for this :)

your are really impressive. thanks for some absolutely amazing ideas :D

Path finding project was tooo awesome.. . Something too inspiring.. . And the sorting project was great.. .. Overall everything was great.. . I cant resist to subscribe.. 😍😍😍

Thank you for your insight into projects. I'm starting to build my portfolio.

Thank you for sharing you experience with us! Very cool projects and it gave me a good perspective about how i can use my personal experiments. Very cool ;D

We NEED a tutorial for those projects. damn...

One of the things I am not sure is mentioned is seeing: 1) that you can do a bigger project and accomplish it on your own 2) seeing how you structure things in your projects (going through code) If you can go through someone's code you can tell how experienced they are and if they can design complex systems (if the project is complex enough). I asume the code for your visual search representation is going to be pretty well structured based on how it behaves. Did they ask to see the code btw?

"You had me at " 1:03, when you kept it real, and disclosed your best effort in your endeavor. I appreciate your insight.

And with this video, you just earned yourself a new subscriber!!!! Very helpful video, keep it up.

Can you please explain the tech stack used to make the visualizations project? Im very curious to know!

The algorithms themselves are pretty simple boilerplate pathfinding algorithms. But the visualization is definitely very impressive, although I suspect external libraries did most of the work. It did gave me some insight into making my own project. Maybe it is important to make stuff look good.

Amazing projects! I am gonna make them as soon as I learn how-to!

Thanks for sharing your valuable time with us!!!

The programming language project was super impressive! Oak’s also a great name for a programming language lol I usually just make video games for my projects lol would that be impressive enough for a larger company?

I don't think it was the project, just overall being a boss

That's dope! Congratz!

I don't think the path finder visualiser would be too hard to implement once you understand the algorithm but the idea and execution is what's brilliant.

I thought you developed your own path finding algorithm that’s the most efficient out of them all 😂

Clément, you're on a whole new level.

You have inspired me to make the path vizualizing algorithm.Well done sir. Excellent project.

Making algorithms visualizer seems really good. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone

what ui tool do you use. that effect is so amazing and i cannot think of how we can make it

Super tare, Man! Felicitări!

Thank you so much!!! Your video is super helpful. Now I understand what kind of projects I should make

Hi Dude, I am so impressed by what you did! Actually I am a computer vision algorithm engineer and basically I write in C++ and Python. Could you give me some advice for what other tools I must know to implement such a project like you do. What might be the best plan for learning and project for starting right away. Many many thanks for all your sharing!

Those projects are extremely cool man! Like you said, the visuals make the difference. I think your oak programming language is also very cool too! Did you learn all of this in those 3 months at the Bootcamp? Because that's amazing! Finally, I noticed that these are mostly frontend projects, so is there a specific reason why you chose to stick to frontend and exclude full-stack projects? Thanks for the video man! Really appreciate your advice.

Thank you for sharing your portfolio! You have inspired me to make my own

The pathfinder project is out of this world. Great Work!!

if you're good enough to do all these sophisticated and cool projects, why work at a company? why not create something on your own?

Yes your projects are extremely impressive... before everything I wanna Thank you #Clément I am looking for a job at Google... Although I recently joined a really cool organisation as a Full stack developer but my ultimate goal is Google and you know now a days your videos just tell me as though.. our #Clément has just taken a sort of Pledge, like my viewer belong to these top tech companies.. and no were else... Thank you soooo much Clément this was the most helpful video of yours in recent times...

The first project is so cool, congratulations!

mate this is next level, very inspiring

Wasn't java originally called Oak, because of a tree found outside the creator's office?

The projects are really insane.

Probably one of the coolest projects I've come across(new programmer). Definitely inspired me to do something similar!

Really cool projects, thanks for sharing.
