You know how to code...
...but is it enough?

Do you feel left out when other programmers talk about asymptotic bounds?
Have you failed a job interview because you don't know computer science?

Volume one covers the most frequently referenced topics, including:
- Algorithms and data structures
- Graphs
- Problem-solving techniques
- Complexity theory

The author, a senior developer at a major software company with a PhD in computer science, takes you through what you would have learned while earning a four-year computer science degree. When you finish this book, you'll have the tools you need to hold your own with people who have - or expect you to have - a computer science degree.

Don't let the lack of a degree hold back your career.

If you're a coding newbie or a self-taught developer this is a well distilled book for those wanting to learn the initial fundamentals of computer science. I look forward to the second volume! - Amazon Customer
