An Introduction to Data Structures, Algorithms and Java

This work offers coverage of standard structure concepts, followed by coverage of advanced features in Java: layout managers, exceptions, threads and animation. It introduces Object Oriented techniques and the Windowing Toolkit (the AWT), and offers an "adventure game" case study.

Assuming fundamental programming skills in Java, Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms with Java begins by introducing the concept of object-oriented programming in Java. The Advanced Windowing Toolkit (AWT) is also introduced at an early stage, and used to develop object oriented programs with graphical user interfaces (GUIs). After introducing the standard data structures and algorithms commonly studied in second year computing courses, the book concludes with a substantial case study that provides a hands-on experience with key concepts.
