Not a course, but I find leetcode.com[0] a decent way to putz about and learn new languages. You can only write 'hello world' so many times, and often you don't want to write a whole program just to 'get a taste' of a new language. The leetcode (and advent of code) stuff seems a nice compromise.

I watched the MIT 6.006 Introduction to Algorithms course (0) while studying leetcode a couple years ago. I’d watch the lecture, take notes, and then find some related leetcode questions and solve them. I found it considerably beneficial to do the two in tandem and made some pretty significant progress with my understanding of data structures and algorithms. Hope this helps.

Princeton's COS 226 covered this topic quite well when I took it. It was a good intro to both algorithms and DS content, as well as practical skills for leetcode style questions.

You can check out the Syllabus for the course as taught at Princeton here[0], or take the Algorithms I and II courses on Coursera[1] which cover ~2/3 of the content but have video lectures.

Lance, if you hadn't got me runout in THAT match, you wouldn't have had to go through all these leet code programming.

For folks who do did not get the reference, here is THAT runout:

Not that watching this will greatly increase the understanding of the game who do not know cricket.. but still.
