A few months ago, I was a bit lost on what I should improve myself for my work.
I started sourcing for different good books, and I found a very good book:
Yup, it is "Cracking the Coding Interview".
This book is good because it briefly touches the basics of every topic that a company might care about. If you have attended an undergraduate course, you probably have learned them, the questions provided in this book gave you a recap so that you could answer other more advanced questions better.
While it is mainly targeted for people who is looking for jobs in big company such as Google and Microsoft, I personally think that it is a good book for any software engineer, because it reminds me to keep my basics sharp even if I am employed. When I first answering the questions in this book, there are a lot of questions that I answered wrongly, so don't be discouraged if you answer questions wrongly: you just have to make sure that you have learnt from the mistakes.
To extend on the topics, you can find many coding questions online, such as LeetCode, Codeforces and HackerRank.
No matter who you are, I recommend keep practicing on these websites to keep you skills sharp. ^^
That's all for today.
