==== Recommended for... ====

[ People in the IT and software industries ]

Whether it be website creation or website management, game development or system development, when using a computer to work as a team or work with clients, a broad knowledge of programming and information security is essential.
With "Algorithms: Explained and Animated", you can firmly strengthen that fundamental knowledge.


[ People interested in programming and information technology ]

While there are many technical books on programming and the internet, their simple drawings and long explanations don't facilitate learning as much as they do boredom. With "Algorithms: Explained and Animated", anything from complex data structures like "hash tables" and "heaps" to information security topics like the "public-key cryptosystem" and "digital certificates" can be easily understood with animations.


[ Experienced programmers and engineers ]

When using standard methods like libraries, the more basic the concept, the more impenetrable it can seem. You might also find yourself struggling to explain concepts to a less-experienced colleague. For times like those, use "Algorithms: Explained and Animated" to keep your skills from getting rusty.

This is a great app to discover the basic algorithms and data structure that are commonly used. The only thing missing is time complexity, but the explanation and visuals are super clear.

An amazingly creative way to explain complex concepts which then makes it simpler to understand. I found this app to be quite brain stimulating as it made me want to learn more with all the interactive features. Learning should be fun and stimulating like this all the time.

Amazing app! Great for learning new algorithms it just brushing up on ones you know and use. No ads and a good portion of the included algorithms are free. Plus, the paid ones are only $2.99, a pallet sum for the amount of value you're getting! Thank you developers!
