Who this book is for

The book is aimed at developers who would like to learn about the data structures and algorithms that can be used with the C# language in various kind of applications, including web and mobile solutions. The topics presented here are suitable for programmers with various levels of experience, and even beginners will find interesting content. However, having at least basic knowledge of the C# programming language, such as about object-oriented programming, will be an added advantage.

It is worth noting that this book can contain some simplifications to make the subject easier to understand. What’s more, some data structures are only mentioned briefly, without detailed explanations or examples. The book’s aim is to interest you in the topic of data structures and algorithms, so you can further expand your knowledge with other books, research papers or on-line resources.

To easily understand the content, the book is equipped with many illustrations and examples. What is more, the source code for the accompanying projects is attached to the chapters and is available in the GitHub repository. Thus, you can easily run example applications and debug them without writing the code on your own.

It is worth mentioning that the code can be simplified and it can differ from the best practices. The examples can have significantly limited, or even no, security checks and functionalities.
