It is clear for me, all publishers take their tiers in education process. And O’Reilly is not a beginner in understanding of computer science subject. So that, I can recommend to use publishers as the stairs for unknown technologies or theory and final stair is O’Reilly. In a year I read 20 books, participate in 2 online training and the learning path. The most important thing for me was to realize that there are people who think like me and these people are experts. I can learn logic and pragmatism from them.
This is my recap from Learning Path: Graph Algorithms, By Mark Needham
1. Using a special framework, such as spark, allows you to focus on selecting a method to solve the problem and quickly determine the correctness of the idea, instead of guessing the only correct approach.
2. The importance of linked data is difficult to override, because the collected relationships allow further use of very simple decision-making algorithms. This means that relationships are a step towards simplifying decisions.
3. Determined algorithms are characteristic of generalization, and they cannot always find solutions for small groups in a variety of settings, but they allow you to see the big picture. Probabilistic solutions can improve the overall picture.
4. The graphs above the graphs and the super category are the key to determine the initial solution path, and these structures can be distinguished from the data.
5. It is the iterative approach in determining the desired algorithm, rather than a single selected approach, that allows you to achieve a solution that will reliably solve the problem, thus experimenting and making conclusions, this is the key to creating reliable solutions, instead of a completely theoretical approach.
Thank you, O’Reilly Learning for this year with me.
