Object-Oriented Data Structures Using Java: .

by Nell B. Dale

Continuing the success of the popular second edition, the updated and revised Object-Oriented Data Structures Using Java, Third Edition is sure to be an essential resource for students learning data structures using the Java programming language. It presents traditional data structures and object-oriented topics with an emphasis on problem-solving, theory, and software engineering principles. Beginning early and continuing throughout the text, the authors introduce and expand upon the use of many Java features including packages, interfaces, abstract classes, inheritance, and exceptions. Numerous case studies provide readers with real-world examples and demonstrate possible solutions to interesting problems. The authors' lucid writing style guides readers through the rigor of standard data structures and presents essential concepts from logical, applications, and implementation levels. Key concepts throughout the Third Edition have been clarified to increase student comprehension and retention, and end-of-chapter exercises have been updated and modified.

[Brittney Leigh · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's chock full of excellent information and exercises, but in the typical approach to modern programming, it doesn't scaffold the information in a foundational, organized way, rather it jumps around and dives directly into difficult concepts. The exercises are incredibly helpful in the learning process, yet there is no access for students to see a step-by-step guide of how to do them or answer key (supposedly there is one, but only for instructors). They are challenging, and it would help to see the process in how to do them.

Overall an informational bore that could elevate the learning process with more clarity, better explanations, use of analogies, and reference to the base of concepts. And maybe a bit more fun. The code examples could be better explained, step-by-step instructions could be laid out. Found a great deal of value in the text for my university, but feel it could be improved.
