Thanks for mentioning Grokking Algorithms. Looks great, and might be the first non-digital tech book I will have bought in years.
It deserves to be in the bookshelves. :)
If videos are your thing this set of data structures videos is pretty good.

Good database references here, guaranteed to learn something new.
sounds like you should ask for your money back, remember OP stands by everything he creates and if you dont like it he promises money back no questions asked
I did. The author kept his promise and refunded instantly.

Wow, then you were definitely not the target audience!
- Didn't learn anything new from Linux chapter.
- Data Structures and Algorithms chapter is too basic. There is not even any implementation provided. I thought it didn't offer anything more than you could find on Wikipedia if you add some illustration done with Paper by 53 app. I'd recommend "Grokking Algorithms" by Aditya Bhargava for this topic if you want illustrated explanations with brilliant examples.
- Didn't learn anything new from Databases chapter.
- Didn't learn anything new from Programming Languages chapter. Inclusion of useless things like TIOBE Index made me furious, honestly.
- Didn't learn anything new from Software Design chapter.
I won't recommend this book to anyone working in software engineering for more or less 5 years with or without CS degree. This book merely serves as an index of what you'll encounter in the field, nothing more than that. Not even any good elaborations on those topics. Pretty meh.
