If you are looking for a recap of computer science algorithmic concepts either for fun or for an upcoming programming interview, look no further than these books.

• The first one – Data Structures and Algorithms Made Easy –  A great reference and easy to read. This one is a little time consuming, which is why I listed the second option below.
• The second one – Beginning Algorithms (Wrox Book) – is a little more concise and more basic.  Maybe not for the google interview, but for most mid-level tech interviews, I prefer the Wrox book as a refresher.
• Python Algorithms – by  Hetland. A Press publication. Don’t be put off if python isn’t your first language. The explanation of algorithms in general, itself makes this worth the money.
