Mastering algorithms and data structures enables you to write code that runs faster and more efficiently. Author Jay Wengrow takes a practical approach with techniques and real-world scenarios that you can use in your daily production code, and brings to this book the key teaching practices he developed as a web development bootcamp founder and educator

Graphics and examples are used to ensure the concepts are understandable and relevant, with examples in the book in JavaScript, Python, and Ruby.

• Use Big O notation, the primary tool for evaluating algorithms, to measure the efficiency of your code.
• Find out how your choice of arrays, linked lists, and hash tables can dramatically affect the code you write.
• Use recursion to solve tricky problems and create algorithms that run exponentially faster than the alternatives.
• Dig into advanced data structures such as binary trees and graphs to help scale specialized applications such as social networks and mapping software.
