Rate this book
Explore Golang's data structures and algorithms to design, implement, and analyze code in the professional setting

Key FeaturesLearn the basics of data structures and algorithms and implement them efficientlyUse data structures such as arrays, stacks, trees, lists and graphs in real-world scenariosCompare the complexity of different algorithms and data structures for improved code performanceBook DescriptionGolang is one of the fastest growing programming languages in the software industry. Its speed, simplicity, and reliability make it the perfect choice for building robust applications. This brings the need to have a solid foundation in data structures and algorithms with Go so as to build scalable applications. Complete with hands-on tutorials, this book will guide you in using the best data structures and algorithms for problem solving.

The book begins with an introduction to Go data structures and algorithms. You'll learn how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. Moving ahead, you'll discover how to implement sorting and searching algorithms, followed by binary search trees. This book will also help you improve the performance of your applications by stringing data types and implementing hash structures in algorithm design. Finally, you'll be able to apply traditional data structures to solve real-world problems.

By the end of the book, you'll have become adept at implementing classic data structures and algorithms in Go, propelling you to become a confident Go programmer.

Not bad for an overview of data structures and algorithms, some important algorithms are overlooked while trivial implementations are overly extended.

This was a good read with lots of great code examples.
A bit too light on the theoretical explanations sometimes, but all in all a great read.
