Overview of this book

<p>Data structures allow you to improve the efficiency, performance, speed, and scalability of your code/programs/applications. You will learn what data structures are, why they are important, and how to code them out in JavaScript. </p><p> </p><p>You will also learn other important programming concepts along the way such as recursion, time complexity, the "this" keyword, the prototype object, and constructor functions since data structures use these concepts by their very nature. This course heavily uses diagrams and animations to help make understanding the material easier. </p><p> </p><p>The course covers a mix of ES5 and ES6 code so that you get a better grasp of the fundamental concepts and why the language actually functions as it does "under-the-hood". </p><p> </p><p>All the codes and supporting files for this course will be available at- https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learning-Data-Structures-in-JavaScript-from-Stratch</p>
