Can anyone recommend a good programming text, or reference (online or
off line), that covers the topic of data structures, such as linked
lists, trees, etc., in a clear, concise manner, on both the abstract
and applied level. In my opinion a good reference should start with
the basics in which the basics (definition, structure, etc..) of such
data structures is presented and then build on these basics in a "well
structured" manner. Generic (non language specific) algorithms should
be presented and further built upon, eventually translated into actual
programs and practical applications and considerations. Illustrations,
diagrams, and schematics should be used when & where needed to clarify
a concept.
Many of the texts and references that I have examined thus far do not
touch upon this topic in a well structured manner, often focusing too
much on theory and not enough on applications, or vice versa. Other
texts seem to draw excessive discussion on a simple concept, and/or
neglect a more important concept.
Anyone know of any good references on this topic?? I need this both
for the purpose of educating a development team and, to further my own
understanding and fluency in these topics.
Thanks.
