Book Reviews of The Algorithm Design Manual
Book Review: Excellent reference and study book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is by far the best algorithms book I've read.
Two major reasons for this: the sections include many considerations when choosing algorithms/data structures, and the number of war stories showing how such decisions were made in real situations.
I would recommend this text to anyone that writes software seriously.
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
As mentioned in previous reviews, this book is much more approachable than the CLRS. In particular, it's a really good book to use to brush up for interviews. I also like it because it gives a nice high-level overview of each set of algorithms as opposed to trying to give a comprehensive overview of everything.Book Review: The only algo book you need
Summary: 5 Stars
The writing is clear and concise with lively examples and full explanation.
Given the abstractness of the topic and problems, most algo books explain the thinking process with ambiguity. This is where this book shines.
Book Review: Well organized details
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to understand some best fit algorithms and alternatives without reading a whole numbing book. The organization of this book and the right level of detail help me get there.
Book Review: it is a great book
Summary: 5 Stars
a great value for keeping all the key things in a relatively small volume. as one of the review says, "accessible"
