Product Description
Book Description
Using C, this book develops the concepts and theory of data structures and algorithm analysis step-by-step. It gradually proceeds from concrete examples to abstract principles. The presentation stresses motivation, intuition, and utility before giving technical details. Recurring themes, such as recursion, levels of abstraction, efficiency, representation, and trade-offs, unify the material completely. Important traditional and contemporary software engineering principles are also covered, including modularity, abstract data types and information hiding, as well as new developments, such as risk-based software life cycle models and object-oriented programming.

This is a difficult book,

This review is from: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Software Principles in C (Paperback)
I have used this book in my data structures class. It has some good points. It covers each and every data structure in depth and discusses multiple implementations of each of them. It also makes liberal use of diagrams showing what the data structure is supposed to be doing in memory at that time. The problem with it is that it deals with everything very theoretically, often times letting the user puzzle out the implementations themselves. It is overly wordy, the explanations could be cut in half and made much more to the point without loosing anything. I don't know about anyone else but I like to be taught how to do something and then play with it for understanding. I don't like to have the entire theory of what is supposed to happen explained to me in the abstract and then being left to get it or not. Although there are people who learn best this way. If you are one of them then by all means pick up this book. My over all feeling is that it makes you work overly hard to acquire the knowledge that it presents.Contents Chapter 1 - Preparing for the Journey Chapter 2 - Linked Data Representations Chapter 3 - Introduction to Recursion Chapter 4 - Modularity and Data Abstraction Chapter 5 - Introduction to Software Engineering Concepts Chapter 6 - Introduction to Analysis of Algorithms Chapter 7 - Linear Data Structures - Stacks and Queues Chapter 8 - Lists, Strings, and Dynamic Memory Allocation Chapter 9 - Trees Chapter 10 - Graphs Chapter 11 - Hashing and the Table ADT Chapter 12 - External Collections of Data Chapter 13 - Sorting Chapter 14 - Advanced Recursion Chapter 15 - Object-Oriented Programming Chapter 16 - Advanced Software Engineering Appendix - Math Reference and Tutorial

Annoying to read,
By Luke "devbooks" (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Software Principles in C (Paperback)
Covers all the topics, but in an academic and wordy fashion. not worth the money. he simply does not explain thing that well.

Poor organization,
By A Customer
This review is from: Data Structures, Algorithms, and Software Principles in C (Paperback)
This book is very poorly organised. The previous reviewer said that Standish emphasized data abstraction and modularity. This is true, but his approach is the typical "give examples and hope the reader learns from just the examples". A better approach would be to say it first before giving the example. Unfortunately Standish does not do this. If you're like me and don't like learning simply from examples, then don't get this book.
