Thanks for all the comments! I wanted to add a quick note here that the intention of this video is to help you get better at Data Structures and Algorithms, and not to help you prepare for coding interviews. While I did add a book with interviews in mind and discuss that perspective throughout the video, that isn't the main goal of this video. The goal here is to simply help you get a better grasp of Data Structures and Algorithms. Interviewing is a whole different ballgame, and requires specific strategies and approaches to nail. I will make a video series on the whole process of getting better at coding interviews in the near future. But before you can get better at interviewing, you have to improve your foundational knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms -- that's what this video is for! Hope that makes sense. Cheers! :)

It's 2 am, spent all day coding, and can't stop learning tech stuff. Is addictive 😭

Love how you actually showed and read through the books instead of blabbering out a script. What a man! ❤😃

Grokking algorithm literally helped me to vanish my fear for coding.

KZfaq algorithm can sometimes be fantastic, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

All solid recommendations. Grokking Algorithms was one of the best texts I read regarding the topic. I loved how Aditya broke the concepts down into simple relatable examples

This is great! Next semester I start “Introduction to C++” first year of a community college working on an Associate Transfer to SDSU. I’ve been looking books like this, thank you for the video!

Damn dude. Im about to graduate next semester and was looking for something just like this. I love the layed approach. I need to freshen up on my algo and DS for interviews. Thank you for sharing this!

You really motivate me, man! I am taking the ds&algo class next quarter! really excited :D

My CS Professor was telling us last week about the Introduction to Algorithms book, and how it's the bible for this job. He was suggesting to all of us that if we intend to pursue this line of work, we should try to pick up at least an older edition of the book. Thanks for giving me some lead in books.

Dudeee.....you look so happy while reading from those books 😀😀 I used Elements of Programming Interviews for my interview prep and it is an amazing resource for sure. The questions are amazing and the way they relate other possible questions which can emerge from one question.

You are like a hidden gem in KZfaq. Great video style. On point and clear cut.

The best thing about your videos you give all the answers in a structured way.

I have seen a lot of videos on Self-coding/Software Development, but your quality of videos is unparalleled. Great Aesthetics and unbelievably high quality content !

Nice readings. I want to improve my algorithm knowledge. Btw, giving that personal piece of info helps out!

Great!!! Finally we have the recommended book list from Utsavized on Data Structures and Algorithms. YAY!!!!!

I'm a senior Java developer (I work with Java since 2013) in big projects. I've never needed any algorithm to do my work, only the basic structures and logic to do my work. I have the book "Introduction to Algorithms" and this book is almost impossible to study if you don't know well all the basics algorithms and some advanced ones. And this book doesn't have the exercises answers. I don't recomend this book. Buy it if only you gonna work with something that needs the use of advanced algorithms.

starting to fall in love with your channel, good stuff. appreciated

I just bought 3 of the books for the summer to study and help understand before the class starts. I also liked the way you you pick the books. Cause I was just going to buy a book but glad I watched this video

Great video Utsav! Very informative! Ordered the first two books, will be a good read for the upcoming holidays . Thanks! :)

Interesting video. I am preparing for next semester with Robert Sedgewick's 'Algorithms 4th edition' and was curious what other people were using to study.

This video actually read my mind lol, my DS&A kicked my ass this semester and I was like "hm I need a better textbook to study over break" and when I come home I see this video lol

Love your videos. It makes me calm and focused , much needed for a software developer ❤️.

I bought the big one. In my mind: i studied a lot of the topics, i intuitively understand what these algorithms do, and now I am ready to get deep into them and learn how they really work. I started reading it and on the first algorithm (insertion sort) I opened my code editor and started doing it. I tried to do without copying the pseudo code, but actually doing it from reasoning. It took me several hours until I got it done (it was a naive bug of changing the variable and not the element in the list). I also had to look at some implementations in the meantime. Yeah. This is going to be a LONG ride.

thanks for showing inside the books and giving short explanation and leveling books. this video is amazing :)

This is a really helpful list of resources. I appreciate your channel and efforts you are putting into educating others! Thank you!

@EngineeringwithUtsav, I hope we get to work together on a project or some functional area in Tech. You don't make things sound effortless and that's an excellent approach. "It can be done but it takes work."

great great video. I will continue with CS destilled. I was looking to feel confident about alg & ds interviews. Thanks a lot

Thanks sir for this video. I have a request to you . Can you make a separate video like this on DISCRETE MATHEMATICS ( for the step by step learning)

great channel. as a 19 years old programmer i am glad i found this channel

Good to know that there are more people out there writing code and playing guitar :)

Cool background music. Really into your channel and content. Great stuff.

i have being search for a while for a video like this. I am very lucky to have found your video and chanell, i was very lost looking for how to approach DSA. My University is pretty terrible at it and teaching it, so i had to find by myself a way to find. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think i will buy all of the books, but start from the Distilled one and end up in the interview book one. You have saved my career life :D

highly appreciate this video brother!, it helped me to get an insight regarding what books should i go to

Cant thank you enough I was searching for these type of book suggestions those 4 books are gem, like you 🔥

Amazing Video. Provides great insights and resources in the video as well as in description. Thank You Very Much.❤❤

Apart from being a very informative video, your voice is very peaceful. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Liked the part that you stressed on first having a brief overview of the topics and then slowly and steadily diving deeper into specific topics. I first started learning a topic too much, which indeed helped but then it becomes discouraging if you are learning on your own, you don't get immediate results and then you started doubting yourself. Having a brief idea is enough to start solving problems and then picking up the topic as you keep on learning. This way I learned a lot and at the same time had the motivation to study. I am still a noob :) but this way my learning curve is much much better.

Awesome video man👌 .Thanks for the suggestions and detailed procedure to get good at algorithms.

Nice video, i've had Computer Science Distilled on my Wish List for about a year, but after your recommendation i'll buy it. I'm an experience Software Developer, but still struggle with Algorithm Interviews. Thanks!

Thank you for this video, I have messaged so many times for this. Thank you😀

Another awesome video and content. Thank you very much for sharing brother, I will definitely be buying one of the books.

Liked this content and subscribed , this is what i am looking for

Took Data Structures and Algorithm Classes during college in which only basics were taught and that too in a boring manner. Now I am planning to start everything from scratch. Amazing video. Please make a similar video on networking.

Thanks man. This really helped a lot.

I suggest people learn about Data Structures alone before Algorithms. Putting them two together is already a tough task.

Thank you so much, this will help. I'm going to start learning dsa in a week or so.

The hard cover with CLRS is ❤️

Please upload more videos like this one❤...So helpful

Excelent approach! Very helpful.

I loved this video! Thank you 💙

Thanks man, for these recommendations..... Please make a video for Junior developers to grasp more and more concepts of Software Development, to become best in field.

You're such a good man , thanks for the effort and info ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Now the big boy comes..xD I am levelling up for this.

Love the videos by the way. 🙏 Hopefully, help me get an internship in Microsoft here in ireland 🇮🇪

I liked the video the books recommended are the once i used in my college i guess time to read them once again :-P, also the happiness in your face when u were saying you should know whats an int, array, variables etc hehe

thanks to youtube's recommendations for your videos

Really helpful video for DSA beginners , thank you!!

I am Buying all these books in the description!! Thank you!!

Thanks a lot man, you got inspired me to learn DS algo :-)

Utsav dai, thanks for this video. Cheers from Germany!

Hey Utsav, I have a simple question for you. I have asked this question to many people but they couldn't answer it. Here goes: What is the best way to take notes? When I say this, I do not mean what software should I use to take notes. What I mean is, what should be there (and shouldn't be there) in my notes. Can you help me out?

One impoetant if not "the" most important book is missing "The art of computer programming" by Donald Knuth. This is not for begginers but man each volume describe different types of algorithms. If you are nerd or a geek this book is a must in your library.

I totally loved the video, thank you so much

Very helpful video sir, I will watch all your videos

Thank you very much! Very good books review.

Just watching this video today and I'm so blessed by everything you said... As a software engineer with decades of experience...do you recommend knowing concepts in-depth or just having a surface/shallow knowledge as a starter in software engineering/development? Cos some say you'll learn more on jobs and there's no need to know have a deep-rooted knowledge. Would appreciate if I got an answer from you...

Your way of explaining tremendous bro..

Truly great man. Thanks for your video.

Great Video! Fantastic content as always!!

A good introductory book on algorithms is "How to Solve It by Computer" by R. G. Dromey. This is a great book for learning to think algorithmically.

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences and knowledge

Great video. Could you do this for Object Oriented Analysis and Design? (OOAD) Thanks!

Thankyou! It was really helpful 👍🏻

GREAT Job 👍 dude...excelent...2 books of your recommedatinexcellent, two books of your recommendation are my favorites at Amazon. Thanks...one thing good is that i am able understand Very well your English

Really enjoying these book reviews with, at least, this level of detail. Please continue with this format. 👍

Thanks for this. Keep up the great work :)

One of the most practical vids on the topic! New sub here. Are there any maths books you would recommend that will serve as a solid foundation in CS?

Please Make a video for difference between learning in books and courses online as udemy, coursera .. etc and which is better

Damn love that Kirk Hammet ouija signature behind you.

Hey gentleman thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge.❤️✌️

Thank you so much for the recommendations , really very helpful .. can you please recommend books on system design and database design ?

How much skills in mathematics one need to do advance programming.

its been 11 years, I am still recovering from the trauma of Corman's Algorithms book, I wasn't ready for that book.

Thank you for making such amazing videos man....You really are awesome...:)

Great video, loved it! :)

Amazing vid man 👍🏻 Please do some more book videos

I am learning to code on my own. Should I start with Data structure first or should I learn a language (like c++) first?

This is legitimately great content thank you.

Thank you utsav for this valuable info

PlzZzz tell me the best book for beginner in data structure with java for engineering purposes? Plus in easy language!! 🙏🏻

Much Needed Video 🙏

Love your video ! thanks !

heyy, i’ll be starting university this september and wanted to learn a little about data structures and algorithms, so should i read all these books or should i try to find video courses online? basically , which is better books or videos? btw love your content

Bro, please recommend some language specific books like python, Java, dot net, Javascript and its framework.

Just a one question, is it necessary for a data science ( machine learning) To go through that or it will be a waste of time Is there any algorithm book you recommend for machine learning

Amazing content! Can you please recommend some good resources on dynamic programming! Thank you!

Thanks for the video

Love your videos a lot

you made my day, thank you sooooooo much
