Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with JavaScript

By: Kashyap Mukkamala

Overview of this book

Data structures and algorithms are the fundamental building blocks of computer programming. They are critical to any problem, provide a complete solution, and act like reusable code. Using appropriate data structures and having a good understanding of algorithm analysis are key in JavaScript to solving crises and ensuring your application is less prone to errors. Do you want to build applications that are high-performing and fast? Are you looking for complete solutions to implement complex data structures and algorithms in a practical way? If either of these questions rings a bell, then this book is for you! You'll start by building stacks and understanding performance and memory implications. You will learn how to pick the right type of queue for the application. You will then use sets, maps, trees, and graphs to simplify complex applications. You will learn to implement different types of sorting algorithm before gradually calculating and analyzing space and time complexity. Finally, you'll increase the performance of your application using micro optimizations and memory management. By the end of the book you will have gained the skills and expertise necessary to create and employ various data structures in a way that is demanded by your project or use case.

What's next?


With this, we conclude the book. We hope that you had a great learning experience and that you benefit from these techniques on a day-to-day basis. JavaScript, being the way it is, is ever growing. Things are changing at a rapid pace, and it gets tough to keep track of things. Here are some suggestions, which you can explore and modify as you try them out:

  1. Identify your area of interests. By now, you know that JavaScript exists (and rocks) in a lot of things beyond the browser. Are you more of a UI person? Do you love APIs and scalable microservice? Do you dig building sensors which count how many coffees you consume every day? Find your passion and apply your newly learned JavaScript concepts there. The concepts are same, the applications are different.
  2. Subscribe to newsletters and mailing lists from areas of interests. You will be amazed by the amount of information you get from each of these emails on a daily or weekly basis. It helps you to keep on your toes, and you can stay...
