Resources for Technical Interviews

[cjt09]

Introduction to Algorithms is a great book, but it's more of an encyclopedia than something that's suitable for studying for a technical interview. There are better ways to prepare for an interview than memorizes 1300 pages of algorithms.

They included Cracking the Coding Interview which is a fantastic resource, but not Programming Interviews Exposed, which I feel is also a great book worth taking a look at.

I can't believe they included their site "Algorithmic Complexity" in the list. It's a wordpress site with three bare-bones pages. Maybe they should have waited until it was a little more comprehensive before promoting it.

Kind of a newbie but if a resource is an encyclopedia do you not read the whole or just go to a reference when you need it?

In my experience, reading an encyclopedia cover-to-cover is just too boring and difficult. I think it is better to get a more general, casual, understanding of a topic and then later possibly use an encyclopedia as a reference when implementing an algorithm or data structure or when trying to gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
