Easy to understand, makes algorithms exciting again!
Format: Kindle
Dive Into Algorithms speaks to me directly as a very intrepid beginner myself. I was given another "learn Python" book several years ago and it languishes on a shelf undisturbed to this day. Dive Into Algorithms had me hooked by the first parfait recipe. Mr. Tuckfield explains concepts in such a way that any student can learn something. The history, physics, cooking, and math lessons teach us that algorithms are everywhere, and they're not big scary 'big data' monsters out to ruin us. Instead, they're tools to help understand the world around us. This book has made me excited about programming again. Thank you.

Don't buy. Author's okay effort to publish what seems like a rough draft.
Format: Paperback
Poorly written, unnecessarily complex wording to code introduction/explanations, and path to solutions (cover to cover of the book) are the most bizarre of choices. Excessively wordy and dramatic (i.e. "let me tell you the entire history of human kind before we dive into anything programming/problem solving related." ). Either he's new to publishing or programming, or both. PASS.

Love Love Love this book
Format: Hardcover
This is the first book I have read as an adult, I'm 34! My ADHD brain doesn't allow me to focus and comprehend well in a still setting. This book kept me entertained, lots of laughter and tears. It helps you recognize your damage, and try to help pin point where it came from. There are a couple activities within the book for you to gauge where you are so you can see what you need to work on. Even if you aren't a believer, something can be gained from the book. Mr. Todd uses biblical and also person experiences to relate to the reader and show what he's overcome. I'm in the process of reading it again to make sure I absorbed everything he was teaching. This will be the first and second book I've read in my adult life. Next will be Crazy Faith because Mr Todd can keep my focus with his personality somehow. I have a critical thinking brain, not an imaginary type one so he does a great job grabbing the audience. If I could rate it a 10 I would. I'm blown away at how I could actually completely ready a book this thick. I have recommended it to people I love also The first step is recognizing you are broken and understanding its ok, you still have a purpose. We help others through our experiences which is what Pastor Todd did 💜
