Having attended a workshop conducted by Mr. Subhash K.U. - the co-author of this book, it was quite natural for me to pick this up. This book covers all basic concepts that is needed for a technical interview, but its only all about theory. This book could serve as basic tool and people ought to divulge deep into the "Why" factor and know how to illustrate it.
Good basic to mid level materials for interview preparation. However, there are some mistakes in the book including wrong codes and wrong concepts. Need to be careful.
