Review
"A practical, fun approach to computer science fundamentals, as seen through the lens of common programming interview questions."Jeff Atwood / Co-founder, Stack Overflow and Discourse"This book prepares the reader for contemporary software interviews, and also provides a window into how algorithmic techniques translate into the workplace. It emphasizes problems that stem from real-world applications and can be coded up in a reasonable time, and is a wonderful complement to a traditional computer science algorithms and data structures course."Ashish Goel / Professor, Stanford University"A wonderful resource for anyone preparing for a modern software engineering interview: work through the entire book, and you'll find the actual interview a breeze. More generally, for algorithms enthusiasts, EPI offers endless hours of entertainment while simultaneously learning neat coding tricks."Vineet Gupta / Principal Engineer, Google

This book is the best algorithm/data structure I ever took (or wish I had something equivalent when I was in school). I have finished half of the book's content. These points are what I think this book really stand out among its peers.- Every problem solution is not just a solution, but an analysis of the problem just like what you are expected to do during an interview. Starting with a brute-force approach, the book guides you through why the brute-force solution is inefficient, and optimize on that.- Every solution has detailed complexity analysis, which is often expected from your interviewer. The book also includes the deduction of the time complexity, rather than just throw you a big O notation and let you guess- The code is of high quality, using meaningful variable names, the code itself is self-explanatory (which contains useful comments too)- The study plan is a great structure to guide your learning if you are on a tight schedule (from 2 weeks to months, your journey is all planned out)- There are also lots of tips on the non-programming part of the interview, which is just as important IMHOLast but not least, this book made me fall in love with algorithms and I start to write better code at work. Whether you are preparing for a job interview, you should give this book a read.
Going through this book prepares you incredibly well to think critically for your interviews. There's no substitute for pure practice, and this is a great place to get it. As a bonus, there's a table outlining key questions per chapter to review given your appropriate timeframe (3 days, 1 week, 1 month, 4 months). This is essentially a list of the most important questions to cover per chapter, which comes in handy because you likely don't have time to go through every single question.Each chapter starts with good refresher material to read over before presenting the questions. The questions themselves: I have seen either the exact questions or very similar variants in most of my interviews. The questions in other resources seem to be a bit too easy.The question statements are very clear and well-defined. I feel like other resources present some of their questions more vaguely; while that vagueness is something you may experience in an interview setting, it helps to have the clarity that this book provides in its questions. It gives you a good place to start without having to look in the answers section.The hints are a nice touch, and the solutions are well explained. I very much appreciate the acknowledgement/discussion of the brute-force solutions before going into the more elegant solutions. Variants of the questions are also presented in the solutions section (although solutions to the variants are not).As far as I'm aware, this is the best resource out there.As a tip for your interviewing practice: if possible, have a friend pick out questions at random for you and read them aloud. Knowing what chapter the question is from likely reveals which data structure makes the most sense, and that's something you'd usually have to find out for yourself in a real interview.
This book organizes the domain of interview questions and how to solve them. It provides over 300 questions and ranks them by type and difficulty. It discusses not only the solution, but discusses algorithmic complexity and what should be considered inefficient solution versus an elegant more efficient one. It also gives a study plan based on your time horizon to starting to interview. It really covers all the bases. Finally is discusses C++11 syntax and features in solving it.It also includes non technical advice about resume preparation, the interview process and what not to do. It really covers all the bases for interviewing in the IT industry as a software developer.
I worked with the data science association on their new standards for "Data Scientist" interviews (entry salary of $125,000), and both real questions and after interview polls were included for the biggest names in data today, from the web to corporate and government IT. "Data Scientist" is one of the hottest new jobs out there today, and some companies are even forming CDSO jobs--Chief Data Science Officer!To begin, ALL FOUR of the books in this review are 5 star "superstars" for IT interviews. The two problems are, my library customers want to know the top two, and our Amazon shoppers want to know if they can get away with one, two, three, or if they have to buy all four! Of course the answer depends both on the focus of your resume, and the overlap/focus in the four books.First, the summary, by author, title/Amazon link, year published/edition, number of pages, trim and cost, problems included, main language(s) foci. These four are the most frequently purchased by the over 100,000 libraries (including corporate technical libraries and schools as well as private and public) in our database. (Note: page counts are via visual inspection at the time of this writing, not Amazon stats. Pages can vary with on-demand books.).Aziz, Elements of Programming Interviews: 300 Questions and Solutions by Aziz, Adnan, Prakash, Amit, Lee, Tsung-Hsien 1st (first) Edition (10/11/2012), 2012, 481 pages, 6 x 9, $25, 300 problems (mostly C++, concurrency in Java, discrete math in formulas and English)McDowell, Cracking the Coding Interview: 150 Programming Questions and Solutions, 2011 (5th edition), 500 pages, 6 x 9, $23, 150 problems, (mostly all Java except of course the C, C++ question sections!)Guiness, Ace the Programming Interview: 160 Questions and Answers for Success, 2013, 419 pages, 6 x 9, $20, 160 problems, (mostly Java and C# but some unusual JavaScript, SQL, Ruby and Perl examples too)Mongan, Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job, 2013 (ed. 3), 301 pages, 7.4 x 9, $18, 150+ problems (C, C++, C#, Java)All four of these fine prep texts cover the usual suspects in Algorithms and Data structures, including a focus on "scalable" problems of most concern to the Amazons, Googles, Facebooks, etc. of the world. These include recursion, arrays, lists, hash tables, binary searches and trees, and other foundation coding subjects.All also cover the usual tricks, brain teasers, presentation problems, prep, process, etc. issues, and in the case of Cracking, specifics on many different company processes.The divergence is in the "extras." Aziz jumps into parallel computing and covers discrete math (in grad school joke terms, all the computer oriented math that has been taken out of high school courses). McDowell has an unusually well written probability section. Guiness is very up to date with cross platform apps and concurrent programming nightmares, and goes into both more depth and detail on individual topics like big O notation. Mongan is published by wrox, and has not only technical editors, but outstanding web resources. His database section is the most robust of the group.Aziz and McDowell are print on demand, which usually means there are many more errors in early going, but much faster correction of them via almost weekly files to the printer. Guiness is Wiley and bulletproof. We've tested the code extensively in all four (my payroy sister programmers, not me!) and ALL of them are outstanding, with very few errors at this writing, which can only get better fast in the two PODs, and wasn't a problem to begin with via the technically edited wrox and wiley teams.Surprisingly, there is NOT a lot of overlap in solutions in these four texts, just as there IS a lot of overlap in the questions (strings, arrays, binaries, hashes... structures are structures and algos are algos). The difference in ALL these books (as opposed to a Cormen) is that the algorithm examples are not academic--they give you many options to "cheat" - and most of the cheats are more real world than techniques given in the 1,300 page algo function texts.McDowell is the industry standard, but she teaches very much to Google, as does Aziz, meaning web focus, and even a little forgiveness on php, but NO forgiveness on memory or scalability. If you're a library client and have to pick two, we advise one from the McDowell/ Aziz dyad and one from the Guiness/ Mongan dyad. If you're applying for a job with a specific language requirement, these self sort, although of course all are object oriented today.For shoppers preparing for a real interview: buy all four. I mean, come on. This is your future! You can get all four for the price you'd pay for a larger (way less useful) algo + data structure or individual language text, and maybe less. Some points about interview technique are common, but all four offer different and important examples in approaches to solutions, even though they share common algorithmic and data structure challenges.IRONY: The only programming area growing faster than data scientist today is at the other end of the big scale spectrum: embedded systems. I kid you not, specialize in embedded, and you're GUARANTEED a dream job, both due to the explosion of these systems, and the rarity of programmers here (but yes, you have to get into circuits!). Our sister Payroy group shows job stats, demand and salaries that are to die for if you go there-- way better than Google. NONE of these books cover it (because other than mobile and server embeds, embedded was traditionally automotive and industrial, but even "Google and Microsoft TV" type ventures are now hungering for it).There is NO good interview book out on embedded yet, but these two are the best of breed in the field itself: 1. Samek (Practical UML Statecharts in C/C++: Event-Driven Programming for Embedded Systems) and 2. White (Making Embedded Systems: Design Patterns for Great Software). Why C and C++? Because that's where the majority of electronics still reside, and "object" programmers in the field often just use the C subset of ++ and don't really get into sexy classes/methods/parents/kids, etc.! 6 months brushing up on this, specializing, and going for an embedded job will be worth years of competing with the interviews in these texts!!!Now, a simple tip. I was part of a team that interviewed for a high level, very high paying digital art programming position at shader joes dot com. One candidate stood out as really technically challenged--she even confused a call with a register in one of her answers! She called herself an "autodidact" - meaning, unlike Yahoo, we can't be recruiting only from the 18 top schools.At the end of her interview, she asked us to check out a disc she'd brought. She had programmed her own video game with movie-real characters, explosions, storyline, etc. using Unity, Maya, blastcode, Python, Lua and C#, with web distributions in Java, HTML 5 and php. She proceeded to explain her entire process, from idea to distribution. She was hired before she could reach the elevator. In olden-days, old timer parlance, don't forget your "portfolio" if you have one! It can trump a LOT of the bureaucratic hurdles!EMAILERS ANSWER: IF you are a manager, rusty at coding, a data scientist, etc. and are in an interview where you have to "understand" coding basics, but not necessarily code, see our review of Karumanchi (Coding Interview Questions).Library Picks reviews only for the benefit of Amazon shoppers and has nothing to do with Amazon, the authors, manufacturers or publishers of the items we review.
