Author Description
This book covers traditional data structures using an early object-oriented approach, and by paying special attention to developing sound software engineering skills. Provides extensive coverage of foundational material needed to study data structures (objects and classes, software specification, inheritance, exceptions, and recursion). Provides an object-oriented approach to abstract design using UML class diagrams and several design patterns. Emphasizes software-engineering skills as used in professional practice. MARKET Readers who want to use the most powerful features of Java to program data structures.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the integration of object-oriented design principles with the implementation of traditional data structures using the Java programming language. David D. Riley utilizes his background in computer science education to present a framework that prioritizes software engineering best practices alongside algorithmic efficiency. The book argues that students must master object-oriented concepts, such as inheritance and abstraction, to effectively manage complex data structures in professional environments.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Foundational coverage of Java objects, classes, and recursion
- Implementation of data structures using UML class diagrams
- Application of design patterns for abstract software design
- Emphasis on professional software engineering specifications and practices
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts identify this work as a structured resource for students transitioning from introductory programming to advanced software design. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose and the focus on rigorous engineering standards over simple code implementation.
