Object-oriented Data Structures Using Java

by Nell B. Dale, Daniel T. Joyce, Chip Weems

Thoroughly revised and updated, Object Oriented Data Structures using Java, Second Edition presents classic data structure topics with an emphasis on problem solving, theory, and software engineering principles. Beginning early and continuing throughout the text, the authors carefully introduce and expand on the use of many Java features such as packages, interfaces, abstract classes, inheritance, and exceptions. Chapters have been rearranged to get to the heart of the textbook material more quickly and additional exercises and example applications are included throughout.

[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.
