G+_Nate Follmer Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If you enjoy learning about data and algorithms as much as I do (it's a sickness... I'm sorry) - Check this book out. It was one of the first books I ever purchased on the subject and I still have a gander in it from time to time. Yes, it's pretty heavy on game related algorithms, but it's still a good resource to learn from and you can use the topics covered really for any type of dataset. Haven't been able to find it in eBook form yet... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1584504951?me&ref=olp_product_details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darryl Medley Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Very appropriate. I looked at the preview pages and on page 8 it has BubbleSort code which we just talked about on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Lee Crocker Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I thought the sorting show was a good idea, if for no other reason than to introduce the concept of "algorithm", and showing that there are different ways of doing the same thing, and some ways are better than others in some circumstances. Even showing bubblesort (which is never the right choice) is fine is an example. It's also good to point out that it's often good to write your own custom-suited to certain kinds of data and applications. Need to do a similar thing with data structures like trees and hashtables.
