Excellent resource for interview prep if you're using Python as your programming language. I love the study guide given in this book depending on the time period you has as well (weekend hackathon, 1 week, 1 month, etc.).

High quality questions and answers. The Python 3 answers are great, I'm leaning new things about Python 3 as well although I've been using it for a few years now!

Detailed and clear. Amazing book to practice with algorithms. Intermediate/advanced level

Great book. Well written and clearly shows the efforts the authors have put into it. I am also grateful for the online EPI materials provided. Only negative is that I really dont like the binding used on the book, e.g. as you can see in the second image, when opened, the contents on the right side of the left page become out of sight.

Good book for practicing problems, however, it assumes you already have quite a bit of python knowledge so I would recommend another book if you're just learning.

Excellent preparation for interviews at the top tech companies.

This has plenty of examples of problems and solutions.

When I downloaded the kindle version of this book on 28/02/2022 I found that it was just a badly scanned version of the book.

Each page is off centre, small, and because each page is a scanned image rather than the usual kindle text, you cannot highlight.

I do not recommend downloading the kindle version unless and until they announce they have changed it.

Returned for refund.

Excellent book for technical interview. You most likely can pass the interview by going through most problems in the book.

The book contains a great variety of moderate to advanced problems. Much more in depth than Cracking the Coding Interview. In addition to the quality problems, the author also shows a lot of tricks with Python 3. Great way to learn the language!

Downside is the paper quality, if you highlight the text, you can see the highlighter mark on the back of the page.

Very dense and full of good practice problems for all kinds of data structures and algorithms. The author gives various levels of answers from simple brute force ways to more complicated, clever solutions to common problems.

O livro tem inúmeros problemas com resolução em python, e também dá boas dicas para a entrevista.

Porém a letra é pequena e as explicações não são muito didáticas se você não estiver familiarizado com as questões.

Acho uma boa para acompanhar as resoluções em vídeo a partir de outra fonte, ou revisar como banco de questões se vc já tem mais experiência.

Before this book, I looked at a bunch of coding resources. I tried a lot: Neetcode's list of questions, Leetcode, youtube channels, big lists on Github, textbooks (Knuth, Tamassia). The issue with textbooks, of course, is they're not applied enough, so you easily forget everything you read. And some issues with online resources is I find that they a) do not have consistently high quality in their solutions/explanations and b) come up with groupings for questions like "sliding window" and "two pointers" that don't fully make sense to me. Often, these resources are by people whose eloquence and marketting match or outpace their technical qualifications.

This book is basically a lifetime subscription to a very well curated Leetcode. The chapters are organized by core concepts in applied CS. They not only are relevant for interviews, but serve as great intuition for how various algorithms that run the world are implemented. The answers are of consistently high quality in both coding and explanation. No more questioning "why does that algorithm work?" - the authors use simple but satisfying mathematical reasoning to back their answers. The accompanying EPIJudge Github repo, which has templates and automated testing for almost every problem in the book, gives the book the same dopamine hits as Leetcode.

I'm thankful for this book. I finally understand the solution to the buy/sell stock problem. And its elegant and memorable solution to the knapsack problem saved me in the final round of a recent Google interview. This book covers good ground!

Estoy disfrutando mucho este libro, pero... yo ya tengo experiencia en estos temas. Este libro al igual que el otro cracking the interview requieren conocimientos previos, pero este libro es la mejor compra.

Can't comment on the content of the book as yet. The book's printing margins however are almost non-existent. This means the printing almost goes into the fold and you have to pry the pages apart to read the end and start of sentences. This gets very annoying really fast.
