- Data Structures and Algorithms chapter is too basic. There is not even any implementation provided. I thought it didn't offer anything more than you could find on Wikipedia if you add some illustration done with Paper by 53 app. I'd recommend "Grokking Algorithms" by Aditya Bhargava for this topic if you want illustrated explanations with brilliant examples.
- Didn't learn anything new from Databases chapter.
- Didn't learn anything new from Programming Languages chapter. Inclusion of useless things like TIOBE Index made me furious, honestly.
- Didn't learn anything new from Software Design chapter.
I won't recommend this book to anyone working in software engineering for more or less 5 years with or without CS degree. This book merely serves as an index of what you'll encounter in the field, nothing more than that. Not even any good elaborations on those topics. Pretty meh.
sounds like you should ask for your money back, remember OP stands by everything he creates and if you dont like it he promises money back no questions asked
I just picked it up. Looking great at the moment. There are diagrams and illustrations throughout, and the ToC is a solid list of things I have had to figure out on the way & things I know of but don't yet understand.
