Computer Science Distilled: Learn the Art of Solving Computational Problems by Wladston Ferreira Filho

4.0

Very good read IF you are a beginner programmer. Most of the topics covered in this book are unknown or at least not well-known to novice developers and are essential to be a good programmer.
It has a simple wording and excellent examples to understand the concepts although I think it leaves some concepts without explanation, I need a second opinion (from a friend who knows nothing of CS) to really know if it is as simple, clear and well explained as I'm thinking, it was to me.
I don't think this book is enough to master all these topics because computer science is a wide field and it takes so much time to grasp all of the intricacies, but it is a good introduction to the way of thought of a serious and professional developer.
I would recommend it to any developer who has not studied computer sciences or curious person who would like to know more about computer science. Also, you could take it as an index or a syllabus to know what to study to master computer science. His references and the end of the chapters are great.
And finally, the quality of impression and binding are great in this edition.
