Why read it?
1 author picked Data Structures and Algorithms as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the book that started it all for me… and I think it holds up just fine today. I see value in confronting the old Pascal code every so often: it’s a reminder of how little we need in order to make our algorithms fast, and how much is happening behind the scenes by our modern programming languages. To this day this book has some of my favourite presentations of Dijkstra’s Algorithm and sorting.
From Daniel's list on for actually learning how to design algorithms.
