"… a great introductory text, providing essential knowledge in the
field and enabling students to place in the appropriate context the
programming concepts they learned in their introductory courses. …
The author has cleverly placed an introduction to data structures
commonly used by programming languages in the second chapter,
minimizing prerequisites and enabling the book’s usage at the
sophomore level. Theory has been kept to levels suitable for a
general undergraduate population and is supported by a wealth of
concise, well-illustrated examples. … Recommended."
