This book has a lot of typos and in a programming textbook, that's not a good thing. Even on the website, their downloadable code is error prone. More attention should be paid by the editors of programming textbooks than was done here.
I used this book for a textbook in my data structure class. I have never seen worst data structure book than this. A lot of errors, lack of exercises, instructor materials simply wrong ( test bank contains too many wrong answers, etc.. ) This book ruined my class this semester. I had to refer students to Internet instead of the book to study the material. I will never use this book again, nor I will ever recommend it to my students and colleagues.
I am using this text book for a guided study class I am taking. It is very clear and accessible. I have found the examples clear, easy to follow and instructive. The case studies are fun as well as informative. I enjoy the approach the text book takes of walking your through fleshed out ADTs and then challenging you to manipulate them. At the end of each chapter I not only feel like I can code the ADTs but I also have a solid understanding of their applications.
I've read a lot of programming books (Python, x86 Assembly, C#, Java and C++) and this one would be placed in the middle of the list. It's not the best, but it's not the worst. This is a text book and such I believe it should explain things in orderly fashion. The author has a tendency of jumping around, causing you to flip between pages back and forth. I don't think I'll keep this one.
If you are purchasing this for your class then you don't have any choice but if you just want to learn programming then I would reccomend you to purchase some other textbook.This textbook has lots of words and very less coding examples.
I needed this for a class on data structures but it worked out that a friend borrowed it to review before some interviews we both found it informative yet approachable.
