A Programmer's Guide to Computer Science: A virtual degree for the self-taught developer

The author very clearly states in the beginning that covering all of the topics mentioned in the book cannot be covered completely by the book, both in the beginning and at the end. This is a much appreciated note! Do no expect to get everything you need from a single book, ever. It's a very complete overview of topics that I'd: 1.) heard of but did not genuinely understand, or 2.) never known about. I really appreciate the way these things were introduced to me. I will be buying the second volume!

It’s short and doesn’t have enough information from the price. All the other reviews feel the same, I’m not going to waste too much energy writing a review since I’ve wasted enough money on it already

I did not read this book. The binding is terrible. Many, many pages are loose and have fallen out. "Printed by Amazon in France". They need to sort this out as it's unusable.

A well detailed read 👌🏽. Would recommend for students studying computing.

I really enjoyed reading this book and found it really useful as a refresher for topics I already know and as a quick and useful introduction to topics that I didn't know well. It's also really good for people who would like read introductions about theoretical computer science where rigid mathematics doesn't show. This volume examine (1) the basics of computer science such as Algorithms and Data Structures and (2) the basics of theoretical computer science: Complexity Theory and the well-known computation model Turing Machine.
