Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures

De: Marcello La Rocca

Narrado por: Julie Brierley

As a software engineer, you’ll encounter countless programming challenges that initially seem confusing, difficult, or even impossible. Don’t despair! Many of these “new” problems already have well-established solutions. Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures teaches you powerful approaches to a wide range of tricky coding challenges that you can adapt and apply to your own applications. Providing a balanced blend of classic, advanced, and new algorithms, this practical guide upgrades your programming toolbox with new perspectives and hands-on techniques.

About the technology

Can you improve the speed and efficiency of your applications without investing in new hardware? Well, yes, you can: Innovations in algorithms and data structures have led to huge advances in application performance. Pick up this book to discover a collection of advanced algorithms that will make you a more effective developer.

About the book

Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures introduces a collection of algorithms for complex programming challenges in data analysis, machine learning, and graph computing. You’ll discover cutting-edge approaches to a variety of tricky scenarios. You’ll even learn to design your own data structures for projects that require a custom solution.

What's inside

PDF needs to be updated and expanded

Pdf stopped at chapter 10. Pretty basic stuff in my humble opinion. I paid real money for an incomplete book.

A fun and interesting listen

Loved it! A very nice way to create content awareness. When you're done with this, get the bard copy.

Wonderful audio textbook!

Very valuable update on many popular algorithms used today in both Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Some stuff I knew about, but most I didn't, so its a nice overview for me. If you do Python or R, even at the hobbyist level - this book may help close some of the gaps in the algo's that are used in those environments. I'm a big fan of audio delivery of this technical content! I suggest you get the Kindle version to read along with, as many formulas are not spoken in the audio version. I don't consider that bad either, because if they read those formulas, it could suck the life out of the audiobook. Well done audio-textbook on Manning's part

Worthless as an audio book

Without any visual material, this book is rather worthless, especially for someone who are unfamiliar to the topics being discussed.

Worked well when pdf backed up reading

The accompanying pdf stops part way through chapter 10. Made it hard to follow discussion of graphs I cannot see.
