Product Description

Book Description

Traditional DS&A books are written in academic style and filled with obtuse mathematics and difficult proofs. But Robert Lafores straightforward, friendly style presents the topic in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand style, allowing programmers to grasp the concepts quickly and apply their knowledge to their programs. This book uses the very popular C++ programming language for examples and code samples.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starter, Oct 13 2002

This review is from: Teach Yourself Data Structures and Algorithms in 24 Hours with CDROM (Paperback)
A while ago, I told a more experienced programmer friend of mine that I wanted to study algorithms,he laughed at me. He also gave me a book to read. After the first chapter I realized why he laughed. This is definitely not an easy subject.But when I came across TYS DS and Algorithms I finally got a chance to understand the topic. I have a lot of algorithms books but if you have no experience and need to learn the subject in a short time, then this is the book for you. I am a self taught programmer and I needed to learn about algorithms real fast.This book put me on the right track.Now I think I am ready for the more difficult books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for technician level programmers, Oct 6 2002
By 
This review is from: Teach Yourself Data Structures and Algorithms in 24 Hours with CDROM (Paperback)
I consider myself a "technician level" programmer.. in other words, my main job title is somewhere in the realm of "make this electronic device functional" and "the network died.. fix it", with the responsibility for the odd bit of utility programming now and then. Considering this, I use this book as basically a brush-up on elementary algorithms and data structures that come into play when doing that bit of utility code. Computer science types will likely consider this book "Data Structures and Algorithms Lite" as it eschews the grinding proofs and NP discussions in favor of actual code in more of a cook book style. Not a bad book for technicians, though I would have preferred some pseucocode and less language specific stuff, but I suppose that defies the nature of this type of book in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Interactive!, Nov 3 2001

This review is from: Teach Yourself Data Structures and Algorithms in 24 Hours with CDROM (Paperback)
I bought 'Introduction to Algorithm' by Thomas Cormen, and could't understand anything in it. So I looked for easier book, and bought this one. This book use OOP concept to describe the data structures and algorithm. I found all the explanation very clear. It teaches you basic knowledge about algorithm before you move to more advanced books. I also found that the java applets (included on CD with the book) they used to describe the algorithm theory were very helpful. It was just like having a private teacher explaining them for you.

I admit that it is not very complete, like it explains Red-Black Tree but there is no source code, and also no source code for deletion on Binary Tree, you have to get a more advanced book for those. But this book has done its job very well!

If you are majoring computer science, and can't get your teacher explanation about basic algorithms and data structures (ex. Big-Oh notation, quicksort, etc), GET THIS BOOK!
