Book Description
Master Python, Recursion, Dynamic Programming, and Greedy Algorithms With Hands-On Examples. Learn the core data structures and algorithms for optimized Python coding.
Master Data Structures and Algorithms with Python – From Foundations to Real-World Applications
Are you ready to take your Python coding to the next level? Data Structures and Algorithms Essentials You Always Wanted to Know is a practical, hands-on guide for self-taught programmers and junior developers who want to write smarter, faster, and more efficient code. Instead of drowning you in theory, Shawn Peters—an educator with nearly 20 years of experience—makes complex topics simple through clear explanations and real-world examples.
From arrays, stacks, and queues to advanced structures like trees and graphs, this book helps you bridge the gap between simply knowing Python syntax and truly mastering the logic behind scalable, efficient applications. Key concepts such as dynamic programming, recursion, and graph algorithms are explained in a straightforward manner, with exercises to help reinforce your understanding.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
- Analyze code performance with Big O, Omega, and Theta notations
- Write clean, reliable recursive functions for complex problems
- Master arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, and hash tables
- Apply dynamic programming and greedy algorithms to real-world coding challenges
By the end, you’ll not only understand the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms with Python—you’ll also know how to apply them to real-world projects, optimize your code, and build solutions that scale.
Whether your goal is to solidify your foundation in data structures, prepare for technical interviews, or understand how to solve problems with Python algorithms, this book guides you every step of the way.
Take your programming skills to the next level and become a confident, capable problem-solver.
