Have you got the steps to wrangle that data?

'Algorithms For Dummies' by John Mueller & Luca Massaron is a textbook on the subject of .... you guessed it, algorithms! It's designed to teach and inform with a mix of theoretical explanations, real life applications and miniature examples using Python. Fundamental principles of graphs, different types of algorithms and terminology can be found within.

I summarised the book as follows. "It's a solid book, however it seeps in slow. I didn't understand a lot but by going through the motions (much like an algorithm) produced results for me. I came out with an appreciation for the broader fundamentals of how algorithms work. Note: It's not likely to improve your Python or coding skills and much of the book will likely be forgotten."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
