Overview
See it. Do it. Learn it! Algorithms - established processes for solving computational problems-are the foundation of computer programming. Mastering the most important algorithms and learning to recognize where they should be applied are required skills for any developer. Algorithms in Motion introduces you to the world of algorithms and how to use them as effectively as possible through high-quality video-based lessons, real-world examples, and built-in exercises, so you can put what you learn into practice. Based on the best-selling book Grokking Algorithms, this liveVideo course brings classic algorithms to life!
About the Technology
An algorithm is a repeatable procedure for solving a problem. The algorithms you'll use most often as a programmer have already been discovered, tested, and proven. This engaging course makes it easy to learn and use the most important algorithms effectively.

About the Reader
This easy-to-follow video course is perfect for self-taught programmers, engineers, or anyone who wants to brush up on classic algorithms.
About the Author
liveVideo instructor Beau Carnes is a software developer and a recognized authority in software instruction. Besides teaching in-person workshops and classes, he has also created around 100 software training videos that receive over 40K views per month. This includes a series on data structures and algorithms. Grokking Algorithms by Adit Bhargava is available at manning.com in pBook, eBook, and liveBook formats.
Quotes
Good and simple to understand introduction to algorithms.
- Boris Vasile, Team Lead, Garmin Cluj
Great way to quickly recap the most common algorithms.
- Jonathan Wood, Software Consultant, Wintellect
Explains the fundamentals of some fairly complex computer science in a way that makes sense to anyone.
- Derek Hampton, Senior Developer, Advanced Retail Ltd
A gentle introduction to the traditional computer science topics of data structures and algorithms in a way that is not intimidating to approach.
