The Fourth Edition of Programming Interviews Exposed is a solid refresher on core computer science fundamentals. It is fairly concise. It presents core principles and provides a few very well explained problems. It does not have the theoretical depth of a text book or provide a vast array of every type of problem you may see. This makes it a great book for somebody wanting to brush up. The problems are generally language agnostic, though Java seems to be most frequently used in examples. (C++, C# and JavaScript also make appearances.) It does go into bits of more high level technologies such as map-reduce, SQL and AI, however, the focus is on the fundamentals and the process for solving problems quickly.
