Java: Data Structures and Programming

This book is a methodical introduction to programming in Java that takes advantage of object-oriented data structures. It presents the Java Virtual Machine together with the analysis of algorithms and data structures in Java. The book applies the latest features of Java to develop various data structures, including linked lists, trees, graphs, and networks. An approach to efficient serialization for data structures is included.
The book shows how to incorporate advanced data structures in object-oriented programs, and thus promotes understanding of object-orientation and how it improves program efficiency. No prior knowledge of Java programming is presupposed, as the book is self-contained with full coverage of data modeling and object-oriented programming in Java.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes the source code of all the Java classes presented in the book.
