User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I am in the process of re-acquainting myself with some CS fundamentals and figured this would make for a good read. I do like what I’ve read so far, but I’ve noticed that there are a number of errors present (very poor editing). If you have a CS background and want to brush up on the fundamentals then this is a good read for you (I assume you can figure out the errors yourself). However, do not read this book if you are starting off in programming since you may not be able to detect the technical errors and thus will get very frustrated.If the errors in the book are corrected I would give this book 4-5 stars instead of the 3 it has now. Author had good intent, but this book was too rushed. This also makes me question the quality of the other demystified books…

⭐I was preparing my course on data structures following this text. It is nicely written, straight, concise and accesible. The only drawback is that the code must be adapted to newer language standards. Some figures are wrongly referenced inside text, and others have some errors. With patience (a lot), and a bunch of paper and pencil besides, anything goes ok, but. If there is and updated edition out there, it should be fine!

⭐The diagrams in the book don’t match the text and are just plain wrong in multiple instances. Since the text relies on the diagrams to make sense, it completely fails its audience, regardless of its “friendly” delivery.This lack of editing is just inexcusable. If I were a publisher I’d be ashamed to put a book like this out.If you’re an intermediate to advanced programmer, you don’t need the content this book attempts to provide. If you’re a beginning programmer, this book will completely confuse, frustrate, and anger you.

⭐For a budding database administrator or computer scientist, this book is a wonderful primer on the subject of data structures.

⭐Good book with examples of programming code in C++ and Java. This is a good book to help you learn about data structures and programming languages.

⭐Was the book I needed.

⭐Well-written and highly accessible without being infantilizing . The only limitation is its effort to leverage syntax from several different programming languages, but I’m not sure this can be avoided entirely given the scope. Also I would have appreciated some coverage of Python.

⭐Chapter 4 describes a stack as being FIFO.This is literally what the author states. “Each dish in a stack is accessed using fifo: first in, first out.” -.-He’s confused stacks and queues which is a BIG mistake. This kind of mistake will damage the beginners understanding of the concepts. Avoid this title.A great place to start if you have no math background would be…Sams Teach Yourself Data Structures and Algorithms in 24 HoursThank you for reading my review.
