Courtesy of The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), I have discovered this incredible collection of algorithms, algorithmic techniques,
data structures, archetypal problems, and related definitions.
You might ask yourself: “What’s so special about a few algorithms”? Well, I don’t care who you are, if you are a programmer of ANY type, this stuff is good for you to know and use!
I actually enjoyed going back and looking at some of the problems I worked on back in college. Truthfully, these bad boys can make your job (as a programmer) a whole lot easier and your code a whole lot more efficient.
So come on, check out The Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures.
Note: The Byzantine Generals Problem is still my favorite.
