ruthmoogWelcome to this tech book club! I'd love for you to join me reading this title. I've chosen this book after it was recommended to me by Alice, one of my coaches at Makers Academy.
Grokking Algorithms An illustrated guide for programmers and other curious people, by Aditya Y. Bhargava
About the book
Grokking Algorithms is a fully illustrated, friendly guide that teaches you how to apply common algorithms to the practical problems you face every day as a programmer. You'll start with sorting and searching and, as you build up your skills in thinking algorithmically, you'll tackle more complex concerns such as data compression and artificial intelligence. Each carefully presented example includes helpful diagrams and fully annotated code samples in Python.
