I am using this book as a required textbook at my University. As a introduction to xhtml, html, etc. programming, I find this book exceptional. I've gotten feedback from other people in my curriculum, and they all agreed that the book is very good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I've used templates and played with dreamweaver, but this book is the first time I understood what was happening. You can't go wrong by purchasing this book..

This book is great for understanding the basic data structures in computer science. I couldn't be any happier with the way it explains everything. However, the only issue I have is that most of the exercises in the book are very vauge and therefore as a student I waste to much time trying to understand what I need to do specificaly because the book just throws out these vauge exercises without any constraints.

A good, clearly written book, although there are a few mistakes in the code given. Still, it covers some tough topics in a clear and concise way. Still, it's not a book I wouldn't tackle without some guidance from a class!

This seller was very punctual with the shipping and delivery of the book and it was in very good condition like the ad had stipulated.
I will recomment him to anyone

I teach a graduate level data structures course at a Big 10 university, and reviewed this text over the summer to use in my course. The text covers all the basics - lists, linked lists, hashes, graphs, trees, and all with good OO foundations. In my review, this book hit on all cylinders. However, I am looking at it with many, many years experience in teaching and in data structures, and frankly made the mistake of 'skimming' the book to make sure that everything I wanted to cover was in there.
Then class started...
The book, while going through all the motions, fails to execute well. Diagrams have mistakes in them, algorithms are wrong, code samples don't work... I have had to do quite a bit of damage control with my class, and will not be using this book next term. I now have guilt that my students were stuck paying for this book, and can't sell it back for students in future terms.
(A note to faculty - the supporting material is... OK. The test banks are mediocre, and also have errors in them, and the lecture materials contain all the errors also found in the book)
So, the bottom line: All the basics are there, but this is not a winning book. Perhaps the second edition will be better?
