Here is what people are saying about the Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java (2nd Edition)
5 Star Rating  "Perfect"2009-09-16

The book arrived, no discernible damages. Even smelled brand new -- as described. Excellent product.
 
1 Star Rating  "Not For Beginners"2008-05-05
- Reviewed By User: A16OM0035HG8IC
I was required to purchase this text for my course. Having never programmed in java before and not having a strong programming background, I found this book almost impossible to follow. This book is definitely not for beginners and assumes previous knowledge of java. I did not find the explanations or examples in the book clearly written. After continued complaints from the class, the professor abandoned the book altogether after just 3 weeks. If your a beginner, stay away from this book.
 
2 Star Rating  "Certainly not for beginners in OOP"2007-12-05
- Reviewed By User: A1CDX1KRAE1VPQ
This book is a college textbook for my data structures java class. I was not new to programing at the start of my course, however I was new to OOP. This book does a horrible job of explaining the concept of OOP which, in my opinion, is difficult to grasp at first. The information in this book is very dense. Complex concepts are only given an explanation that is a page or two long (ex: Binary search trees). The examples aren't horrible, but they lack ample documentation. Now that I fully understand the concepts (thanks to the internet) this book makes an alright reference. Overall, if you already know Java or C++ or a similar OO language, this book is probably exactly what you need to learn how to store your data in Java, but if you don't know what OOP is, look elsewhere.

I absolutely love this book. Some of the best code examples I have seen in a Computer Science book. It flows very nicely and has very good explanations of why one way is bettter than another.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great book!"2005-11-20
- Reviewed By User: A2USMU6J1FR58U
I got the 2002 edition of this book for a class one and a half year ago. It is a great book. Yes, the book covers some of the basics of Java, then it goes into various analysis, algorithms, implementations, etc. It is not for beginners, and some math background will help tremendously. There is no way we could have covered all the topics in the book. It is simply too rich. It is very well written and contains great explanation. I especially like the Big Oh introduction. I found myself getting even more out of it every time I go back and read it again. Just like everything else in life, repitition is the key.
 
4 Star Rating  "algorithms are primary, Java is secondary"2005-07-28

[A review of the THIRD EDITION 2005]

The book teaches two things. Algorithms that are very useful in computing. And how these can be coded in Java.

The explanation of the algorithms requires a reasonable amount of mathematical sophistication on your part. They all relate to discrete maths, and cover topics like sorting, random number generation and graphs. The complexity of the discussion is less than that in Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming". Perhaps more akin to Sedgewick or Aho's algorithms texts. There is a fair amount of abstraction that you'll have to deal with.

The other task in the book is explaining how Java is well suited in which to code these algorithms. Weiss also makes good use of the Java interface ability. If you think of an algorithm as being implemented in a subroutine [ie. a procedural approach], then the book uses interfaces to let you design a program at a higher level, and making it quite modular and independent of specific implementations of given algorithms.

The book does deal with Java 5. But perhaps the most important aspect of Java used in the book is the interface. So the book is quite germane even if you are using an earlier Java.

But what if you program in another language? Is the book relevant? Quite possibly. Firstly, some other languages, like C#, have interfaces. More importantly, if you regard the algorithms as the most important aspect of the book, and you are a skilled programmer, then coding is the easier aspect.

A remark to a lecturer: If you are teaching a course and are contemplating this book as its text, be careful. Try to ensure that the expected background of your class is compatible with the book. For example, if they will be experienced Java programmers, but have little maths knowledge (and this combination is certainly possible), then the book may not be very useful to them.
