Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning programming with one of “the coolest applications around”: algorithmic puzzles ranging from scheduling selfie time to verifying the six degrees of separation hypothesis. This book builds a bridge between the recreational world of algorithmic puzzles (puzzles that can be solved by algorithms) and the pragmatic world of computer programming, teaching readers to program while solving puzzles. Few introductory students want to program for programming's sake. Puzzles are real-world applications that are attention grabbing, intriguing, and easy to describe. Each lesson starts with the description of a puzzle. After a failed attempt or two at solving the puzzle, the reader arrives at an Aha! moment—a search strategy, data structure, or mathematical fact—and the solution presents itself. The solution to the puzzle becomes the specification of the code to be written. Readers will thus know what the code is supposed to do before seeing the code itself. This represents a pedagogical philosophy that decouples understanding the functionality of the code from understanding programming language syntax and semantics. Python syntax and semantics required to understand the code are explained as needed for each puzzle. Readers need only the rudimentary grasp of programming concepts that can be obtained from introductory or AP computer science classes in high school. The book includes more than twenty puzzles and more than seventy programming exercises that vary in difficulty. Many of the puzzles are well known and have appeared in publications and on websites in many variations. They range from scheduling selfie time with celebrities to solving Sudoku problems in seconds to verifying the six degrees of separation hypothesis. The code for selected puzzle solutions is downloadable from the book's website; the code for all puzzle solutions is available to instructors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are preparing the programming interview for a software engineer position, you might want to look at this book. Make sure you have basic knowledge of data structure and algorithm, because this book is mostly focus on how to resolve the coding puzzles with existing data structure and algorithm. If you need some refresh of data structure and algorithm, there is a good book you might want to take a look first, by Thomas H. Cormen. What the 2nd edition brings to you: 1.136 problems in Recursion, Divid and Conquer, Binary Search, Tree Traversal, Graph Traversal, Dynamic Programming, String Search etc, which is more than enough for preparing a software engineer interview. Every puzzle contains a detailed explanation and some implementations. 2.An Appendix in the end of this book for designing question preparation. This appendix includes some selected papers, books I had read in the past two years. And I think this is the most important change in the second edition. Learning what current industry does and keeping improving the design skill will help yourself in a long-term career. Again, this book is used to present how to analysis a problem and link the inside the challenge with some existing algrithoms. The goal of this book is to improve the problem solving ability, not to be a collection of latest interview questions from Facebook, Google etc. Hope this book can help you get your desired offer.

Book excerpt: Algorithmic puzzles are puzzles involving well-defined procedures for solving problems. This book will provide an enjoyable and accessible introduction to algorithmic puzzles that will develop the reader's algorithmic thinking. The first part of this book is a tutorial on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques. Algorithm design strategies — exhaustive search, backtracking, divide-and-conquer and a few others — are general approaches to designing step-by-step instructions for solving problems. Analysis techniques are methods for investigating such procedures to answer questions about the ultimate result of the procedure or how many steps are executed before the procedure stops. The discussion is an elementary level, with puzzle examples, and requires neither programming nor mathematics beyond a secondary school level. Thus, the tutorial provides a gentle and entertaining introduction to main ideas in high-level algorithmic problem solving. The second and main part of the book contains 150 puzzles, from centuries-old classics to newcomers often asked during job interviews at computing, engineering, and financial companies. The puzzles are divided into three groups by their difficulty levels. The first fifty puzzles in the Easier Puzzles section require only middle school mathematics. The sixty puzzle of average difficulty and forty harder puzzles require just high school mathematics plus a few topics such as binary numbers and simple recurrences, which are reviewed in the tutorial. All the puzzles are provided with hints, detailed solutions, and brief comments. The comments deal with the puzzle origins and design or analysis techniques used in the solution. The book should be of interest to puzzle lovers, students and teachers of algorithm courses, and persons expecting to be given puzzles during job interviews.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many distinct pleasures associated with computer programming. Craftsmanship has its quiet rewards, the satisfaction that comes from building a useful object and making it work. Excitement arrives with the flash of insight that cracks a previously intractable problem. The spiritual quest for elegance can turn the hacker into an artist. There are pleasures in parsimony, in squeezing the last drop of performance out of clever algorithms and tight coding. The games, puzzles, and challenges of problems from international programming competitions are a great way to experience these pleasures while improving your algorithmic and coding skills. This book contains over 100 problems that have appeared in previous programming contests, along with discussions of the theory and ideas necessary to attack them. Instant online grading for all of these problems is available from two WWW robot judging sites. Combining this book with a judge gives an exciting new way to challenge and improve your programming skills. This book can be used for self-study, for teaching innovative courses in algorithms and programming, and in training for international competition. The problems in this book have been selected from over 1,000 programming problems at the Universidad de Valladolid online judge. The judge has ruled on well over one million submissions from 27,000 registered users around the world to date. We have taken only the best of the best, the most fun, exciting, and interesting problems available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real coding for complete beginners. Join Matthew MacDonald, author of too-many-tech-books-to-count, as he enters the world of JavaScript-accompanied by friendly ninjas, cheating goblins, and at least one rude wizard. Develop your skills with 35 interactive exercises on CodePen. Best of all, there's no setup required (a web browser is all you need). Who needs another book about coding for kids? These days, you can't turn around twice without someone trying to teach you how to code. So why the heck did I write my own book? When my daughters started learning to code, I discovered that most tutorials were as dry as dust. If you wanted something more fun, you could play a coding game and write commands to move a character around a maze. But unlike real programming, there was no chance to be creative. There was no freedom. There was no invitation to build your own programs. Here's what makes this book different: Hands-on practice. If you want to learn a new skill, you need to practice. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of theory swimming around in your head. Friendly for beginners. If you're a beginner, it's not enough to learn the basics of a programming language like JavaScript. You also need to learn the concepts of programming at the same time. No setup required. The world is full of amazing frameworks, tools, and code editors. But who wants to install a bunch of software before you even get started? Tiny. I'm a programming nerd, so I like talking about things like Big O notation. But no one needs to be buried in theory at the start of their journey. In this book, every chapter is a bite-sized lesson that you can usually finish in one sitting. Kinda fun. Not everyone has the motivation to learn from an old-fashioned textbook. But who doesn't want to play dice with a cheating goblin? So I decided to make something of my own. Then I unleashed it on my family. This is the result of those experiments. Why JavaScript? JavaScript is a great first language for people learning to code. It's not because JavaScript is a great teaching language (it mostly isn't). It's because JavaScript is everywhere-on every operating system, every browser, and almost every electronic device that's more complicated than a toaster. That means you can effortlessly share your JavaScript programs with friends. Unlike all the rest of computing history, there's no downloading, installing, or configuring. And it doesn't hurt that JavaScript syntax is similar to many other professional languages, like Java and C#. That means the effort you spend to learn JavaScript is never wasted. Can adults read this book? Most certainly! However, this book assumes you're learning JavaScript and programming for the first time. If you already know a bit about programming, you'll probably prefer a guide that focuses on the JavaScript language without re-introducing the concepts you already know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning Algorithms Through Programming and Puzzle Solving is one of the first textbooks to emerge from the recent Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) revolution and a com- panion to the authors' online specialization on Coursera and MicroMasters Program on edX. The book introduces a programming-centric approach to learning algorithms and strikes a unique balance between algorithmic ideas, programming challenges, and puz- zle solving. Since the launch of this project on Coursera and edX, hundreds of thousands students tried to solve programming challenges and algorithmic puzzles covered in this book.The book is also a step towards developing an Intelligent Tutoring System for learning algo- rithms. In a classroom, once a student takes a wrong turn, there are limited opportunities to ask a question, resulting in a learning breakdown, or the inability to progress further without individual guidance. When a student suffers a learning breakdown, that student needs immediate help in order to proceed. Traditional textbooks do not provide such help, but the automated grading system described in this MOOC book does!The book is accompanied by additional educational materials that include the book website, video lectures, slides, FAQs, and other resources available at Coursera and EdX.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to The Little Book of Secret Code Puzzles. If you've never solved a code puzzle before, or never even heard of a Code Puzzle, you're holding a book in your hands that will bring you a lot of amusement and insight. Some readers, especially those who are experienced puzzle solvers, might say these puzzles are very easy. And they are designed to be easy! But people who have never solved a code puzzle before will delight in learning a new skill, after which they'll find that each puzzle they decode will bring them a thought that will humor, encourage, or challenge them. Each two-page spread contains both a puzzle and a quotation, and each two-page spread of puzzle and quote is related in its sentiment. The quotes come from people who have lived all over the world, and from all ages of history, and each quote gives a clue to help solve the puzzle it accompanies on the opposite page. Some of the puzzles are intended to be a bit humorous, but each contains a little pearl of wisdom that I describe as just waiting to be discovered.
