Data Structures and Algorithms in JavaScript




Not the Same Old JavaScript.

Not the Same Old JavaScript.

Think you know JavaScript? Think again. This isn’t your typical coding book—it’s a deep dive into the powerful world of data structures and algorithms that will transform the way you approach problem solving in JavaScript.

Whether you’re a frontend developer tackling complex applications, a backend engineer building scalable systems, or a programmer preparing for technical interviews, this book will revolutionize the way you code. 

Key features include:

  • Modern JavaScript techniques: Use the latest language features and functional programming principles for cleaner, more efficient code.
  • Performance-focused approach: Analyze and optimize algorithms using Big O notation.
  • Essential algorithms explained: Implement and fine-tune core algorithms like quicksort, merge sort, digital search, and binary search.
  • Algorithm design strategies: Solve challenging problems with techniques like recursion, dynamic programming, backtracking, and brute-force search.
  • Advanced data structures: Explore complex structures such as binary search trees, heaps, and graphs.

Each chapter is carefully crafted with clear, no-nonsense explanations of complex concepts, real-world coding examples, and challenging questions (with answers at the end) to reinforce your understanding.

Ready to break free from ordinary JavaScript? Whether your aim is to build cutting-edge web applications, optimize critical systems, or land your dream job, this book equips you with the advanced JavaScript knowledge that sets true experts apart.

Praise for Data Structures and Algorithms in JavaScript

"[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, specialist in JavaScript and web development; author and educator
