Summary:
As the speed and power of computers increases, so does the need for effective programming and algorithm analysis. By approaching these skills in tandem, Mark Allen Weiss teaches readers to develop well-constructed, maximally efficient programs in Java. A full language update to Java 5.0 throughout the text--particularly its use of generics-adds immeasurable value to this advanced study of data structures and algorithms. This Second Edition features integrated coverage of the Java Collections Library as well as a complete revision of lists, stacks, queues, and trees. Weiss clearly explains topics from binary heaps to sorting to NP-completeness, and dedicates a full chapter to amortized analysis and advanced data structures and their implementation. Figures and examples illustrating successive stages of algorithms contribute to Weiss' careful, rigorous and in-depth analysis of each type of algorithm. A logical organization of topics and full access to source code compliment the text's coverage.

Could have been better
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
I felt the author has a firm understanding of the concepts and truly what he wanted to convey, but this book lacked a great deal for beginners or newcomers to Java. Far too many of the examples were tough to understand and in many cases simply un-answered. This is not a book for beginners.

Not as good as I expected
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
It is a nice book but i expected something better. I don't know what it is but something is missing here. I like the C/C++ version of this book better for some serious learning. On the other hand this is a good opportunity to learn java programming at the same time if you haven't mastered it yet.

not a book for beginners
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
If you don't know Java, don't expect to be able to learn the things you need to for a class. If you learned how to do alorgithms in mathematics, it may not be enough for computer science. You probably want to get a supplemental or two if you have to get this book for class. It is quite advanced and a hard read.

Good for professors, bad for students
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
All of the practical algorithms are left as un-answered exercises! Great in depth discussion of introductory algorithms, but very few examples, mostly pseudo-code.

INFURIATING FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY, but good if you have a professor to explain everything as you go.


Knowledge is Power and Painful, too
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Well, I have to admit I did not expect much from this book. But to my overly pleasant surprise, I found this volume quite useful both as a resource for algorhythms and data processing...Forget the Bible, this is the only book one truly needs. And it's fun to say "Java." Amen.
