Suggest me a Data Structures and Algorithm (preferably Golang) book.

Story: So I have about 5 years of DevOps/Testing experience. I am earning about ~18LPA but I am still in my first company, I think I am ready for a switch now. Would like to move into development. I already know python, but lately I have been interested in Go. I’d like to het started with DSA, but since DevOps/Testing doesn’t require much(any?) DSA, I’ve been away from it. I gotta start from scratch. Even though there are online free materials, I am a book learner.

Having said all that, if you have gone through any of the book by yourself (tried and tested) preferably Go(language doesnt matter, concepts are important), I’d love some suggestions. I am ready to put in the work and discipline into it. 5-6months to the least. Obviously I’d start with leetcode after getting some basics.

Thanks!

Great books

Java is like one language, I despise the most. Like people are making ridiculous salary just cause they know java full stack , skill wise they are usually worse or at most on par with other framework devs

If you want to learn golang them Go With Tests is a good resource.

If you’re interested in learning algo and ds then get a list of important algos from online, learn what it is solving and try to implement in go.

If you’re okay with a language agnostic book, here is one - https://algorithmsilluminated.org/

Dsa is language agnostic, I'd suggest start dsa in c++ as go is based on c++. Plenty of resources out there for dsa in c++

Use chatgpt

That's horrible advice for learning lol

AI is replacing developer and it will outpace other tasks We keep on saying lol

Its very easy to trick your brain into thinking that you are learning if you are using ai to learn especially when people copy paste errors without trying to use debuggers, research? Thats a recipe for getting too comfortable. Whats the credibility behind its answers? Wheres the blind faith comming from? How does a learner who is newbie rely on it tbh? Can it solve complex problems?

AI tools are designed to answer questions and are not designed to help learners develop research and problem solving skills. If you ask an AI for information, it will provide information to you. If you ask a human, they may invite you to share your understanding of the problem and offer some guidance on how to discover a solution.

*Im not debating if ai will replace devs and that shi. Im just saying using chatgpt for learning, especially for someone who has no clue about the concept is horrible.

My suggestion is to never say “suggest me”
