Robert Sedgewick has thoroughly rewritten and substantially expanded his popular work to provide current and comprehensive coverage of important algorithms and data structures. Many new algorithms are presented, and the explanations of each algorithm are much more detailed than in previous editions. A new text design and detailed, innovative figures, with accompanying commentary, greatly enhance the presentation. The third edition retains the successful blend of theory and practice that has made Sedgewick's work an invaluable resource for more than 250,000 programmers!
This particular book, Parts 1-4, represents the essential first half of Sedgewick's complete work. It provides extensive coverage of fundamental data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, and related applications. The algorithms and data structures are expressed in concise implementations in C so that you can both appreciate their fundamental properties and test them on real applications. Of course, the substance of the book applies to programme in any language.
There are many books on data structures and algorithms, including some with useful libraries of C functions. Mastering Algorithms with C offers you a unique combination of theoretical background and working code. With robust solutions for everyday programming tasks, this book avoids the abstract style of most classic data structures and algorithms texts, but still provides all of the information you need to understand the purpose and use of common programming techniques.
Implementations, as well as interesting, real-world examples of each data structure and algorithm, are included.
Using both a programming style and a writing style that are exceptionally clean, Kyle Loudon shows you how to use such essential data structures as lists, stacks, queues, sets, trees, heaps, priority queues, and graphs. He explains how to use algorithms for sorting, searching, numerical analysis, data compression, data encryption, common graph problems, and computational geometry. And he describes the relative efficiency of all implementations. The compression and encryption chapters not only give you working code for reasonably efficient solutions, they offer explanations of concepts in an approachable manner for people who never have had the time or expertise to study them in depth.
Algorithm Design introduces algorithms by looking at the real-world problems that motivate them. The book teaches students a range of design and analysis techniques for problems that arise in computing applications. The text encourages an understanding of the algorithm design process and an appreciation of the role of algorithms in the broader field of computer science.
Computer programming language Java is not easy to understand. It takes lot of time and practice to understand the complex programming language. But this book takes an interactive and fun approach for better understanding of different fundamentals of Java. The book offers multi-sensory and fun learning experience for new programmers, so they can easily pick up the new language.
Human brain responds and remembers unusual situations, images or incidents. Keeping that in mind, this revised second edition of the book has been presented with lots of humorous images, memorable analogies and mind-bending exercises. The language in which the book is written is also casual for better understanding of the difficult computer programming language.
Although it follows a causal approach, the book refers to some serious computer-related information that encourages readers to learn and think like professional Java programmers. The book focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java development platform, along with certain deep code-levels. From basic programming fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, distributed programming with RMI and network sockets, the book covers almost all major Java concepts.

As a programmer you are eager to learn about different patterns and their properties. You want to know where, why and how to use them (and when not). Instead of taking a close look at these book patterns, you desire to see them in their native environment (real world applications).With Head First Design Patterns you can also learn the proper usage of patterns in JAVA API and different ways to exploit Java's built-in pattern hold up through your own codes.
More importantly you gain a clear understanding of the undisclosed language of Design Patterns so that you can take a hold of your own with your co-worker while he casually highlights his stunningly clever use of Façade, Proxy, Command and Factory. You may go through a paradox of your understanding of why Singleton isn't as easy as it sounds, how the Factory is sometimes misunderstood or on the real relationship between Façade, Adapter and Decorator.
"I have been using Linux for a little over a year. Read as much as I could including Rute, and many others. I have learned more in the first 93 pages of your book than any others!!!!"
"What a great help your book has been for me! I was looking for a book like yours, but I never was able to find one that really walks the reader through the Linux command line in a general sort of way. Do you know of any others? If I recall, there are a lot of books dedicated to shell scripting, but none that are geared to regular command-line use."
"Fantastic book!! I have recently switched from the legacy OS to Linux and I have been trying to find a distro that mimics this legacy OS in fear of using the terminal. I ran across this book and opened the terminal for the first time. This book teaches you everything you need to know about the shell and does it with ease. It starts by giving you a solid foundation and builds from there. Its simplicity and informative structure is ideal for all new beginners switching to Linux. I am now always on the terminal even for the simplest things. Not only does this build love, but I also get to practice my shell scripting. Great book!!"
