E-Books →Six Small Algorithm Projects with Python [Video]

Algorithms are the foundations of computer science. In this series of liveProjects, you'll watch as an expert uses specific algorithms to solve important programming problems.
Six Small Algorithm Projects with Python is one of the most popular series on Manning's liveProject platform. Working though the series by hand takes weeks, but now there's a simpler way. In this series of videos, experienced data science lecturer Charles Rice guides you through the entire series, bringing you all the lessons in a fraction of the time.
As you watch, you'll learn how to use recursion to draw complex shapes, search linked data structures, and layout and draw trees. You'll learn how to use network algorithms to find shortest paths and assign employees to jobs. As you master the projects in this series, you'll gain an understanding of a variety of algorithmic topics, data structures, and general programming techniques.
