Product Description
Using the power of technology to go beyond the borders of the printed page, Goodrich and Tamassia have created a book that is conceptually elegant and innovative. It incorporates the object-oriented design paradigm, using Java as the implementation language while also providing the fundamental intuition and analysis of each data structure studied.

Reviews


A java Data Structures book
This was a mediocre text that is a rewrite of the same text in C++. As is common, the book reads like it was updated by search and replace.

Okay book...
This is for the fourth edition, which from other reviews doesn't suck as bad as the first two...

It's an okay text book - but I pity anybody who doesn't have either experiance working with data structures in C or C++ OR who hasn't taken a Finite Math class specifically for CS.

Only get it because you need it for a course, spend as little as possible and then dump it on eBay as quick as you can. Not worth keeping as a reference.

Ostentatiously Bad
This book, as many have said, is used in numerous introductory courses in computer science. It was recently dropped by my college after it was disowned by the professors who chose it---we students threw so much scorn on the book no one wanted to admit they had anything to do with it.

The book has a very idiosyncratic style. It likes to use some unnecessarily specific class and method names for its examples, and fails nearly every time when it attempts to justify certain proofs about big-O and algorithm runtimes. In fact, the authors seem to think it adequate to make a broad statement and then give a simple example.

All in all, you're best finding webpages written by random professors than purchasing this morass.

Very good textbook for learning Data Structures in Java
I strongly recommend this book as a textbook for learning how to program Data Structures in the Java Programming Language. It has very clear examples with full code, and very nice explanations that explanation an abstract subject. I learned Data Structures in C++ and this book made learning them in Java a piece of cake.

Genuinely usefull
It is worth to have waited for 10 days for the book
It covered up to date java technology and provide additional informations about the implementations of algorithms in real life.
I got many usefull java and algorithm theories from this book and I think it fits to people who want to learn java and the other who have java knowledge.
