- Waterluvian 7y agoI'm loving both. The book is comprehensive and teaches you even the most basic concepts, so it's great for a broader skill range. But I love this one too because it digs into some CS archaeology and that helps me dig into the theory and history. I doubt I'll ever have to implement a linked list but knowing how they work and are implemented and their advantages and drawbacks is great. Tangentially, there's a wonderful game called Human Resource Machine which teaches linked lists and other assembly-like programming without you even realising it.
- ubercow13 7y agoThe book is very comprehensive but it didn't click for me as a beginner, I found much of the exposition left me with unanswered questions while it went on to cover more ground. I'm not sure if those questions were answered later but I got lost very quickly. Maybe it's aimed at people with more C++ background? This linked list tutorial answered every question I thought of almost exactly as I thought of them, which made it a joy to read. I also liked Rust By Example [1] over the book. Based on my experience I'd recommend this tutorial and then implementing something using Rust By Example as reference. But everyone learns differently!
