After finishing my internship at Facebook as a data engineer last summer, I am looking for a book that can help me to prepare for technical interviews involving Python because I want to find a full-time position as a data engineer or data scientist.
Starting last year, I started looking for books and websites from which I could study data structures and algorithms in Python. Unfortunately, the majority of solutions in popular interview preparation books and websites nowadays are written in C++ or Java, such as Cracking the Coding Interview, Leetcode, and GeeksforGeeks.
At the beginning of this year, I finally discovered this book Elements of Programming Interviews in Python. It is best interview preparation book I have encountered so far, for the following reasons:
1. It is written in Python 3.6, which is easier to understand for people who don’t have a computer science (CS) background.
2. It provides tips, popular libraries, and boot camp questions for each data structure and algorithm concept, which can be useful and provide a quick study guide right before your interview.
3. It has an entire section on domain-specific programs (design problems, language questions, object-oriented design, and common tools) to boost your fundamental knowledge in CS.
4. It also has a table that simulates different preparation scenarios (a 3-day hackathon, a 1-week finals cram, a 1-month term project, and a 4-monts algorithms class), and it recommends a subset of problems from different topics for each scenario, so you can plan your preparation accordingly.
5. It provides a detailed analysis for each problem, starting from brute force, to analyzing space and time complexities, to the final optimal solution, so you can practice your thinking process and use it during the real interview.
6. It has an online judge that is similar to Leetcode but with solutions written in Python, so you can practice and refer to the solutions in real-time!
To summarize, if you are like me and don’t have a background in CS, are short of time, and want to get a structured approach and practice your Python programing interview skills online, this is the book you should start with!
Good luck!

Horrible physical quality of the book
The content of the book is awesome. However, the physical quality of the book being delivered is horrible for a book lover like me I ordered this book (brand new version ) from MT Rainier Store as a Christmas present for my brother on 21 Dec 2017 and it arrived on 26 Dec 2017. Although it stated on the website as brand new, what I received seems to suggest otherwise. There were multiple fold mark on the front cover ( which shows that it has been probably been used before). Furthermore, the alignment of the pages in the book is of sub-par quality. Some pages were poking out and it looks like those pages are going to be detached in a matter of days. Also, when I check the book carefully, one of the pages got cut into half as well. Although it may seems like very small details but for a book lover and as a Christmas present , the physical quality of the book really upset me. Regarding the content of the book, it is still perfect as I expected tho. EDIT 1 : I have changed the review to 5 star since it is really unfair to give it 1 star solely based on the quality of the copy and not on the content of the book
