Product Description Thoroughly revised and updated, Object Oriented Data Structures using Java, Second Edition presents classic data structure topics with an emphasis on problem solving, theory, and software engineering principles. Beginning early and continuing throughout the text, the authors carefully introduce and expand on the use of many Java features such as packages, interfaces, abstract classes, inheritance, and exceptions. Chapters have been rearranged to get to the heart of the textbook material more quickly and additional exercises and example applications are included throughout. | ||

Good Explanations, Vauge exercies... This book is great for understanding the basic data structures in computer science. I couldn't be any happier with the way it explains everything. However, the only issue I have is that most of the exercises in the book are very vauge and therefore as a student I waste to much time trying to understand what I need to do specificaly because the book just throws out these vauge exercises without any constraints. | ||
Excellent intro to Data Structures, but helps to have a good prof! A good, clearly written book, although there are a few mistakes in the code given. Still, it covers some tough topics in a clear and concise way. Still, it's not a book I wouldn't tackle without some guidance from a class! | ||
Excelent service This seller was very punctual with the shipping and delivery of the book and it was in very good condition like the ad had stipulated. I will recomment him to anyone ST | ||
Great in concept, poor in execution I teach a graduate level data structures course at a Big 10 university, and reviewed this text over the summer to use in my course. The text covers all the basics - lists, linked lists, hashes, graphs, trees, and all with good OO foundations. In my review, this book hit on all cylinders. However, I am looking at it with many, many years experience in teaching and in data structures, and frankly made the mistake of 'skimming' the book to make sure that everything I wanted to cover was in there. Then class started... The book, while going through all the motions, fails to execute well. Diagrams have mistakes in them, algorithms are wrong, code samples don't work... I have had to do quite a bit of damage control with my class, and will not be using this book next term. I now have guilt that my students were stuck paying for this book, and can't sell it back for students in future terms. (A note to faculty - the supporting material is... OK. The test banks are mediocre, and also have errors in them, and the lecture materials contain all the errors also found in the book) So, the bottom line: All the basics are there, but this is not a winning book. Perhaps the second edition will be better? | ||
