Book Description

The purpose of this book is to give you a thorough introduction to competitive programming. It is assumed that you already know the basics of programming, but no previous background in competitive programming is needed.

The book is especially intended for students who want to learn algorithms and possibly participate in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) or in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). Of course, the book is also suitable for anybody else interested in competitive programming.

This is the best book for beginners, in the complex field of "competitive Programming". This is a critical field and this book is specially written to improve skill to coder gradually and consistently. It will enhance your skill , and every beginner should have this book.

• Live Coding: A User's Manual (Alan F. Blackwell, et al)

  Live Coding is about how people interact with the world and each other via code. This book provides a practice-focused account of the origins, aspirations, and evolution of live coding, including expositions from a wide range of live coding practitioners.

• Principles of Algorithmic Problem Solving (Johan Sannemo)

  The algorithmic approach to solving problems in computer technology is an essential tool. This book presents a readable, entertaining, and energetic book that will motivate and challenge students to open their minds to the algorithmic nature of problem solving.

• Answer Set Programming (Vladimir Lifschitz)

  This book book will introduce the reader to the theory and practice of Answer Set Programming (ASP). It will include numerous examples of ASP programs and present the mathematical theory that ASP is based on, and exercises with complete solutions.

• Aesthetic Programming: A Handbook of Software Studies

  The book explores the technical as well as cultural imaginaries of programming from its insides, introduces and demonstrates the reflexive practice of aesthetic programming, engaging with learning to program as a way to understand and question.

• The Black Art of Programming (Mark McIlroy)

  This book is an introduction to computer programming. It covers the essential information of a Computer Science course. It is recommended for beginners and intermediate programmers.

• Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach

  This book is an introduction to computer programming using any of a variety of programming languages, including C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Swift, for writing programmes, and to solid, fundamental programming principles.

• A Practical Theory of Programming (Eric C.R. Hehner)

  This book explores aspects of programming that are amenable to mathematical proof. The author describes a programming theory which is much simpler and more comprehensive than the current theories to date.

• Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs using JavaScript

  This book introduces the reader to central ideas of computation by establishing a series of mental models for computation. It has had a dramatic impact on computer science curricula over the past decades. Examples are implemented using the JavaScript.

• How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming

  This introduction to programming places computer science at the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process, presenting program design guidelines.

• Elements of Programming (Alexander Stepanov, et al)

  The book shows that algorithms implemented in a real programming language, such as C++, can operate in the most general mathematical setting. For example, the fast exponentiation algorithm is defined to work with any associative operation.

• Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming

  This innovative book presents computer programming as a unified discipline in a way that is both practical and scientifically sound. The book focuses on techniques of lasting value and explains them precisely in terms of a simple abstract machine.

• OOP: Learn Object Oriented Thinking and Programming

  It teaches programming according to the Architecture First methodology which reacts at the companies' complaints that the school graduates are usually good in coding, but bad in software architecture.
