Computer Science


Hi all,

I started getting into programming early this summer, with some previous experience. As I go through these beginner books I notice that most of it is all semantics with the same things: loops, if statements, etc etc.

I understand these things and what I want is to learn more about computer SCIENCE not computer PROGRAMMING. I want to learn about algorithms, data structures etc. etc. ---

Any book recommendations?

If you're beginning with these concepts, I'd recommend:

www.amazon.com

Sam's Teach Yourself Data Structures and Algorithms in 24 hours.

It is a simple, easy-to-use book. Here is another good one:

www.amazon.com

Mastering Algorithms with C.

Re: Computer Science


You can also look at http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/cpp.php (How to think like a Computer Scientist). It has books for Java, C++, and Python.
