DCIC is my favourite and it's more than a beginner book but the author himself teaches all of it in an accelerated course. https://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs019/ https://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs019/ For undersranding recursion there are two noteworthy books: * A lot of people say this book made recursion click for them. * "The Little Schemer" https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262560993/the-little-schemer/ https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262560993/the-little-schemer/ * As the title suggests this ones specifically about recursion. (i like this one better because its in python/js) * "The Recursive Book of Recursion" https://nostarch.com/recursive-book-recursion https://nostarch.com/recursive-book-recursion
