5 Algorithms Every Web Developer Can Use and Understand

This is just a thinly veiled advertisement for Algorithmia. Which granted, does look like an interesting product. However, as a side effect the "Math" in this "Book" is very light and all the code examples are just API calls to Algorithmia.

I think both the terms "book" and "understand" are used very loosely here. Understand the concept enough to use, maybe. I guess my bar for understanding is higher.

I don't mean to be harsh, just I prefer the title to tell it like it really is. After all, "5 algorithms web developers can use today on Algorithmia" might still get up-voted.

Also, as a side note, the "PageRank" algorithm is slightly misleading as it has nothing to do with Google PageRank which some web developers might be lead to believe based on the name.

What a lovely book about practical applications of useful algorithms for web developers: PageRank, Language Detection, Nudity detection, Sentiment and Term Analysis.

Free ebook in very accessible language with plenty of examples. Thank you so much!
