Data Structures and Algorithms Made Easy by Narasimha Karumanchi

This product was recommended by Viktor Mikhail F. Abalde from Negosyo Pilipino

About the author, Narasimha Karumanchi is the founder of CareerMonk Publications and author of few books on data structures, algorithms, and design patterns. He received his degree in computer science from JNT University and his master’s degree in computer science from IIT Bombay. What I like about this book is that it provides a lot of visualization on a step-by-step basis. Gives you a straightforward approach, rather than a deep explanation to the subject like mathematical proofs or theory but a great book for new students who want to work at a company and not as a teacher. As a professional myself I used this book for quick reference.

Clean Code by Robert C. Martin

This product was recommended by Viktor Mikhail F. Abalde from Negosyo Pilipino

Although it is java centric, I really like this book simply because it describes the principles, designs, methods of writing a clean code. I wished I have read this in my student years because now I realize that a poorly written code can be costly, I slowly opt-out with basic templates on my website (negosyopilino.com) since I saw some of the templates where badly written and it slows my website down.
