5 Books On Algorithm That Should Be On Any Software Developer's Bookshelf!

Algorithm isn't the easiest segment of computer science. You have to really apply yourself and have the right resources to get a hang of it. 

When learning about anything, books are your best friends. When it comes to subjects like algorithms, books are always the best sources of information. This is especially true when the books are well written and comprehensive. So, with that said, let’s take a look at five of the best books that are must reads for every software developer in the world.

Algorithms The source code in this book can be used in order to solve real-time problems. In addition, it has simple and easy to understand implementation of algorithms. It teaches you every single detail about algorithm and also contains exercises post every chapter.

Data Structures and Algorithms Made Easy: Data Structure and Algorithmic Puzzles: In this book you will find a lot of important algorithms, which are part of any University course on the subject. It’s main USP though is the fact that it is written in a very reader friendly manner.

Data Structures and Algorithms in Java Both algorithms and data structures are often considered to be the two aspects of computer science that are hardest to learn and get a hold of. Many people give up on these two just because of the difficulty. This book though makes learning these topics quite easy and smooth. You might want to buy this.

Introduction to Algorithms: If you are a programmer with good knowledge about mathematics and experience in algorithm then this book is well suited for you. It is important to note that this book requires some advanced knowledge, like how to get efficiency from an algorithm and how to achieve the efficiency.

The Algorithm Design Manual: This book sets itself apart by emphasising on the need for implementing algorithms in the real world. Unlike other books in this segment, this book doesn’t take a mathematical approach to teach algorithms. Rather, the book uses easy language. Every algorithm given in this book is explained using a real world situation and the book has a vast collection of algorithms. You will most probably find all kinds of algorithms you will ever need in this book.
