Building your own applications is exciting but challenging, especially when tackling complex problems tied to advanced data structures and algorithms. This endeavor demands profound knowledge of the programming language as well as data structures and algorithms. C# Data Structures and Algorithms, armed with critical knowledge from an entrepreneur, author, industry expert, and seasoned developer with significant international experience, offers just that to C# developers.
Starting with an introduction to algorithms, this book gradually immerses you in the world of arrays, lists, stacks, queues, dictionaries, and sets. Real-world examples, enriched with code snippets and illustrations, provide a practical understanding of these concepts. You’ll also learn how to sort arrays using various algorithms, setting a solid foundation for your programming expertise. As you progress, you’ll venture into more complex data structures – trees and graphs – and discover algorithms for tasks such as determining the shortest path in a graph before advancing to see various algorithms in action, such as solving Sudoku.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to use the C# language to build algorithmic components that are not only easy to understand and debug but also seamlessly applicable in various apps, spanning web and mobile platforms.

This book is for developers looking to learn data structures and algorithms in C#. While basic programming skills and C# knowledge is useful, beginners will find value in the provided code snippets, illustrations, and detailed explanations, enhancing their programming skills. Advanced developers can use this book as a valuable resource for reusable code snippets, instead of writing algorithms from scratch each time.

Great book to learn data structures with C# and .NET
I was looking for data structures book in .NET and this book exceeded my expectations.

What if your next system bottleneck isn’t your architecture… but your choice of data structure?
Most of what we know about algorithms comes from university, LeetCode, or Python-heavy tutorials. C++ dominates the deep dives. But what about C#?What if the best way to level up your .NET backend wasn’t another framework… but a trie, a heap, or an optimized graph traversal?In day-to-day coding, it’s easy to default to 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁<𝗧> and 𝗗𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆<,>. They work. They’re familiar. But there’s a whole arsenal of performance-driven, problem-solving structures out there, and using the right one can turn a slow feature into an instant response.Here’s why you should care:• Want lightning-fast search-as-you-type? Build a trie.• Need to prioritize jobs? Heap over SortedList.• Modeling relationships? Graphs > nested lists.• And what’s the actual cost of that LINQ chain you just wrote?Understanding algorithmic complexity in a real-world C# context isn’t a luxury. It’s the difference between scalable and scary.That’s why I was so excited to dive into this book. Unlike most algorithm books, this one speaks C# fluently, with real code, real scenarios, and none of the academic fog.

Good resource for programmers starting their journey in C#
This book is a good resource for programmers starting their journey in C#.The first part is a very hands-on introduction to C# that guides the reader from zero to productive. The Data Structures and algorithms part is well explained. Marcin explains in a way that is very easy to follow. This book contains the most easy-to-understand explanations about backtracking and genetic algorithms that I’ve read.I recommend this book as your first C# and/or Data Structures & Algorithms book.

The book I wish existed when I was preparing for coding interviews
I was not expecting a lot from this book.But I’m pleased I did not skip it. Here’s why:This is the book I wish existed when I was preparing for coding interviews.This book takes each of the key C# data structures and uses them to master most of the algorithms every developer should know.You’ll go through algorithms to search and sort arrays and lists, implement trees and tries, traverse graphs efficiently, and much more.But I think 2 key things make this book really stand out:1. It uses a crazy amount of graphs and other visualizations to help you understand every single algorithm and data structure.2. It complements many chapters with practical examples of how to use the data structures and algorithms in real-life scenarios.Also, I didn’t even know that we had a PriorityQueue class available in C#, which this book covers extensively.If you are getting ready for coding interviews, you should get this book.I can’t recommend it enough.

Great for brushing up on Data Structures
This was a great way to brush up on Data Structures. Everything from Arrays to Tree variants, with great examples and easily understood explanations. An understanding of C# is greatly encouraged as this book jumps right into Data Types!

Great overview for C# data structures
Pretty solid for anyone diving into C# or looking to brush up on their data structure skills.The book is filled with examples that are pretty useful.You get real code snippets you can mess around with, which is great whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at this for a while but need a quick refresher or a new trick or two.Overall, it does a good job at making complex stuff simple and practical.
