Hello All

I am someone who graduated some time back and was not able to score their first job in the field. I am recently getting back into programming a bit more as a hobby. In particular I am toying around with Rust and a bit of C#.

Was wondering what books you all used for data and algo class? It would be good if you know some with those languages in mind, but otherwise just a book that is more generic would be great too.

    The Pragmatic Programmer’s one would be appropriate.

    Both the industry-standard one ( can’t remember, it’s a bit of a boat-anchor in mass, now in 4th edition? ), which is the one for serious hardcore programmers, & the Addison-Wesley one are good, the one which is in subsections, so you have to buy 4 or more books to get the whole thing, is good,

    but for hobby?

    The pragprog one’s probably the best.

      Just a little masochism.

      I do have some academic background. I would like to do a bit more than the basic build a dog class to rebuilt my brain a bit.
