Data Structures: Abstraction and Design Using Java

by Elliot B. Koffman, Paul A. T. Wolfgang

This book lays the foundation for programmers to build their skills. The focus is placed on how to implement effective programs using the JCL instead of producing mathematical proofs. The coverage is updated and streamlined to provide a more accessible approach to programming. They’ll be able to develop a thorough understanding of basic data structures and algorithms through an objects-first approach. Data structures are discussed in the context of software engineering principles. Updated case studies also show programmers how to apply essential design skills and concepts.

[James Kirkbride]

This is a must read for for new developers. It introduces the concepts and various implementations of classic data structures and sorting algorithms which build the foundations for a deeper understanding of the world of software development.

Very rudimentary. It shows basic uses of some data structures with Java, but not much more than that. Personally, I'd read a book on Java and one on data structures and complexity separately.
