My Books

My latest book covers building LLM-powered apps from the ground up. It's the ultimate guide for software devs breaking into AI engineering, teaching how to build chatbots, agents, and more.

This book, published in 2023, is a Python translation of "A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms, Second Edition." I dubbed this one "Volume 1", since I'm currently working on a sequel.

This is Volume 2, the sequel to my previous book. There's a TON of new content! It's available as an ebook at PragProg's website, and in print on Amazon.

​

This book, published 2024, is the JavaScript equivalent to my Second Edition as well as Python Volume 1. It's currently available at PragProg as well as your local bookseller - and Amazon, of course.

Published in 2020, This is the "polyglot" book, and uses examples in Ruby, JavaScript, and Python. If you're looking for a language-agnostic version of my book, this is the one you want.

This is the book that started it all: my first stab at taking the scary subject of data structures and algorithms and making it easy, published in 2017. While it was a good book, the Second Edition is much better. So for the love of all that is good in the world, do not buy this book.

I'm grateful that my book has been translated into other languages, including Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and Italian. I cannot read them. But maybe you can.
