Description
For JavaScript developers, this book is a one-stop-shop for learning the algorithms and data structures that solve and optimize complex problems - covering everything from functional programming and abstract data types, to sorting and searching, lists, bags, binary trees, forests, heaps, and graphs. The author's use of examples taken from coding challenges and programming interviews enables you to explore the real-world advantages of specific algorithms and data structures. Written and illustrated to be a developer's go-to reference manual for immediate on-the-job applications, performance - both from a theoretical point of view and a practical standpoint - is emphasized alongside every algorithm or data structure introduced. In addition to demonstrating best practices throughout the text, each chapter ends with a series of questions and examples that clarify the preceding concepts. The book utilises the latest version of JavaScript (ECMAScript) and its more modern features wherever appropriate.

Reviews
"[A]n incredibly useful resource for those of us who did not have a formal computer science background or simply never had the time to properly learn formal aspects of programming in general. It's a tough book that will make you work, but worth every bit of effort."
-Raymond Camden, Senior Developer Evangelist for Adobe
"Finally a book about algorithms and data structures that uses JavaScript! Read this if you want to learn important foundational techniques for writing and analyzing code-how to sort data, how to structure data for efficient look-up, and more. While similar to academic textbooks in its comprehensiveness, it's much easier to understand."
-Axel Rauschmayer, JavaScript specialist, author of the 2alilty blog and numerous JavaScript books
