DESCRIPTION:
Standish is the chairman of computer science at the University of California, Irvine. 020130564XAB04062001 . He has also been a co-winner of his department's best-teacher award, chosen by the popular vote of University of California Irvine undergraduate computer science students. Thomas A. In 1990-91, he became the fourth winner of University of California Irvine's Distinguished Faculty Lectureship for Teaching, th
New challenges arise any time a new language is used, and the author meets these challenges. Standish teaches the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms. From the Back CoverUsing Java™ 1.1, Professor Thomas A. Contains common pitfall sections at the end of each chapter to help students recognize and avoid potential dangers.** Instructor's materials are available from your sales rep. HighlightsReviews the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and Java in Chapter 2 and Appendix A, allowing students with no prior knowledge of Java to get up and running quickly. Covers recursion early and carefully in Chapter 4 to help students grasp this challenging concept
Central ideas-such as modularity, levels of abstraction, efficiency, and tradeoffs-serve as integrators in the book in order to tie the material together conceptually and to reveal its underlying unity and interrelationships.. New challenges arise any time a new language is used, and the author meets these challenges. Standish's clear presentation helps readers tie the many concepts of data structures together with recurring themes. For example, although Java is a language without explicit pointers, this book offers pointer diagrams
Five Stars easy to read. This book is thorough and clear, but it needs more material As a student who completed a data structures course using this book, I believe that I can offer a review that has special insight that might be lacking in a typical review.Overall, the book is very solid, and it accomplishes its purpose. Standish takes a naturally abstract topic and provides numerous visuals and models to help the student visualize ADT's. Without these models, a data structures book would not only be extremely dry, but also difficult to follow. This is certainly the book's strong point. There is no doubt in my mind that Standish is a great teacher. it's decent, but too expensive The book is not bad, but not that good either and the $56.90 I paid Amazon for it is too a high price.Good things about the book- It has a compact size and it has these 2.5 inch margins for people to write stuff in; comments for the code are in a special color; nice pictures; neat information - such as a table of frequencies of alphabet letters (the section about Huffman encryption); also, a nice bibliography at the end of every chapter - so we can buy more stuff from this guy; finally, most of the information is quite useful or important - it's not a book with a
