Computer science theory quickly collides with the harsh reality of professional software development. This wickedly smart and devilishly funny beginner's guide shows you how to get the job done by prioritizing tasks, making quick decisions, and knowing which rules to break. ---------- I've just finished the digital copy of this content-packed 274 pages of insightful technical guide and it definitely goes onto my list of useful sources for software developers, CS students, and even technical leads. Asil Çetin-Aufricht, Team Lead, Software Development, KPMG Austria In Street Coder you will learn: Data types, algorithms, and data structures for speedy software development
