Description:


The follow-up to Cory Althoff's bestselling The Self-Taught Programmer, which inspired hundreds of thousands of professionals to learn to program outside of school!


Fresh out of college and with just a year of self-study behind him, Cory Althoff was offered a dream first job as a software engineer for a well-known tech company, but he quickly found himself overwhelmed by the amount of things he needed to know, but hadn™t learned yet. This experience combined with his personal journey learning to program inspired his widely praised guide, The Self-Taught Programmer. Now Cory's back with another guide for the self-taught community of learners focusing on the foundations of computer science.


The Self-Taught Computer Scientist introduces beginner and self-taught programmers to computer science fundamentals that are essential for success in programming and software engineering fields. Computer science is a massive subject that could cover an entire lifetime of learning. This book does not aim to cover everything you would learn about if you went to school to get a computer science degree. Instead, Cory™s goal is to give you an introduction to some of the most important concepts in computer science that apply to a programming career. With a focus on data structures and algorithms, The Self-Taught Computer Scientist helps you fill gaps in your knowledge, prepare for a technical interview, feel knowledgeable and confident on the job, and ultimately, become a better programmer.

Had to verify it was not new, perfect condition
Capacity: 4GB Ram 64GB Storage, Capacity: 4GB Ram 64GB Storage
This arrived totally beautiful, does not look as it had ever been used, I had to look at my order to verify it was reconditioned, very fast, battery life is decent, everything works as it should, it came with stylus. I love this laptop other than I wish I would have done more research into Chromebooks, not a fan, old school always used windows , this is a shock to my system, even though I have android tablets and phones, I should be comfortable with this but I am not, it said buisnesses and education, I can see where it would be great for education, not as much for business (just my opinion) . It does not offer many things that through the years you become a custom to with a laptop. Time will tell if it can offer what I expected to use it for.

Great computer for fair price
Capacity: 4GB Ram 64GB Storage
This is such a great idea - half iPad, half computer. Love it and it's not very expensive. I'm pretty much an Apple person and this has changed my mind some.

It died in a month
Capacity: 4GB Ram 64GB Storage
Bought it for my middle school daughters online classes. It stopped working in a month and few days. So disappointed and upset. If you are going to sell something, sell something that will last for at lease a year not a month.
