With an accessible writing style and manageable amount of content, Data Structures and Algorithms Using Java is the ideal text for your course. This outstanding text correlates to the recommended syllabus put forth by the Association of Computing Machinery standard curriculum guidelines. The author has produced a resource that is more readable and instructional than any other, without compromising the scope of the ACM CS 3, Data Structures and Algorithms, course material. The text's unique, student-friendly pedagogical approach and organizational structure will keep students engaged in the process of self-directed investigative discovery both inside and outside the classroom.The pedagogical features of the text, based on the author's 3 years of teaching experience, include succinct code examples, a unique common template used as the organizational basis of each chapter, the use of pseudocode to present the major algorithms developed in the text, nearly 3 carefully designed figures, and a concise review of Java.

This is a one-semester, introductory programming textbook in Java that uses game applications as a central pedagogical tool to improve student engagement, learning outcomes, and retention. Game programming is incorporated into the text in a way that does not compromise the amount of material traditionally covered in a basic programming course and permits instructors who are not familiar with game programming and computer graphics concepts to realize the verified pedagogical advantages of game applications. The companion disc includes a game environment that is easily integrated into projects created with the popular Java Development Environments, including Eclipse, NetBeans, and JCreator in a student-friendly way and also includes a set of executable student games to pique their interest by giving them a glimpse into their future capabilities. The material presented in the book is in full compliance with the 2013 ACM/IEEE computer science curriculum guidelines. It has been used to teach programming to students whose majors are within and outside of the computing fields. Ancillaries include a comprehensive instructor’s resource disc with programming solutions, slides, quizzes, projects, and more.
