Reddit mentions of Data Structures and Algorithms Using Python and C++

I'd search for an algorithms book that uses Python. This one, perhaps: Python Algorithms: Mastering Basic Algorithms in the Python Language https://www.amazon.com/dp/148420056X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8HnczbRMZXS0Q

Maybe also a data structures specific text? This one has algorithms and data structures: Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures Using Python SECOND EDITION https://www.amazon.com/dp/1590282574/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EJnczbP3AAHYW

Maybe this book will give you a sense of the differences in Python and C++: Data Structures and Algorithms Using Python and C++ https://www.amazon.com/dp/1590282337/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JKnczbWWF9XMS

There is a ton of fundamental knowledge about computing that you just can't get via Python, that Python abstracts away, and/or is very important to understand to write useful code. You'd want to study theory of computation, computing systems, operating systems, programming languages, etc.

But a basic understanding of how to devise, implement, and analyze algorithms is generally a good place to begin your education.

I get quite a lot from books, reading them, working through problems when I need to. But if I could go back in time and tell myself which books I should read, I'd go with (in order):

• Bare-Basics
  
  
• What you need to afterwards learn stuff on your own - more focus on classes, what an algorithm is and how to start thinking about them, data structures
  
  
• Filling out the missing pieces, including web stuff, databases, microsoft office, computer graphics, cloud computing
  
  
• Some of the more difficult to grasp concepts of Python, but very short; functional programming, closures, decorators, etc.
  
  But there are so many really amazing resources on the web for free, that beyond some of the more basic stuff where you really need someone to explain to you why your code doesn't work and that sort of thing it really shouldn't cost you a lot of money.
