![Computer Networking Bible: [3 in 1] The Complete Crash Course to Effectively Design, Implement and Manage Networks. Including Sections on Security, Performance and Scalability](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41H4YJnxKgL._AC_SR100,100_QL65_.jpg)
I am a huge fan of this book. There's seemingly a free version of it online but it's worth paying for for the sake of longevity and also just to support the authors, who did a really great job.
I'm a "self-taught" software engineer (in scare quotes because no one is really self taught), which means I have no formal training in data structures and algorithms. A lot of books and courses are math heavy, which makes sense in an academic context but isn't terribly practical. I don't need to do limits and integrals and things to understand and use tree algorithms, and this book doesn't ask me to.
It's just a step by step, very practical introduction to basic data structures and algorithms. Can't recommend it highly enough for someone trying to get into these topics, especially if you've been put off by theory and math-heavy courses or books in the past.
