Frank Runtime knows REGEX and is not afraid to use it.

From the publishers:

When a robbery hits police headquarters, it’s up to Frank Runtime and his extensive search skills to catch the culprits. In this detective story, you’ll learn how to use algorithmic tools to solve the case. Runtime scours smugglers’ boats with binary search, tails spies with a search tree, escapes a prison with depth-first search, and picks locks with priority queues. Joined by know-it-all rookie Officer Notation and inept tag-along Socks, he follows a series of leads in a best-first search that unravels a deep conspiracy. Each chapter introduces a thrilling twist matched with a new algorithmic concept, ending with a technical recap.

Learn about the key algorithms, basic data objectgs such as strings, arrays, and stacks.

This well illustrated, well written book is, as far as I know, unique. Read a novel, learn computer science.

This is for anyone starting out in computer science, including CS students. And, just for fun.
