Data Structures and Algorithms Using C#

About half way through the book, and I am sadly disapointed and am beginning to wish I hadn't purchased this book. The examples printed in the book are grossly incorrect, variables used in the examples where something entirely different is referred to in the text, syntactically incorrect variables in a lot of the examples, and figures are even in consistent. I looked through the pages for an author email addy or someplace to go for eratta, but could find no such thing. I will keep reading through this but its costing me more work trying to figure out what the author really meant then the amount of information I am getting back in return... they really should have proof read this one a little better... my recommendation... do not buy it, or at least until they have fixed the errors.

This book seem to be a rewrite of a vb version. Some additional editing would have been helpful. Could not find a url for errors as is usual in technical books. That said, the coverage of the topic is quite good. Only tried a few of the example programs, but one of the ones I tried compiled clean, but aborted until I corrected a logic error (zero vs one relative).

only data structure book I could find and its a bit too erroneous for being that

It is a good book to learn Data Structures concept clearly. I got the book concept concisely by learning book examples.It is great book

The author of the book has written it by copy-pasting from a book about VB.NET as the book constantly tells about VB.NET although the code samples are in C#. It is full of "bugs", for example, StringBuilder is called StringBuffer half the time.Most of the book is too primitive and barely covers the same information you can find in regular help.

Seriously.. this is probably one of the worst books I've had the chance to read in a while. Professional and otherwise.I think the word 'superficial' quite very well summarizes my impression of the book. It seems like a super-beginner level book but for that level it contains way to many errors (typographical and programming-wise).My final recommendation: don't buy this book. If you're a beginner it's possible you're going to get confused or mislead. If you're a seasoned programmer, reading the book will most likely be a waste of your time.

This book contains a clear exposition of common data stuctures and some algorithms. I think it is particularly useful for developers like me who came to the profession indirectly without having first been computer science majors.The book was ported from the original VB.NET version and suffers from only a few lapses in translation.

A very poorly written book. It has an amazing amount of mistakes in it (I lost count after a while). If you want a book to learn the basics of C# data structures and Algorithms, then DONT buy this book. If you want a book to dig deep into C# data structures and Algorithms, then DONT buy this book. If however you just want to get a part understanding and learn the basics of of this topic (why? why? why?), then this may be the book. Look around and buy a better book otherwise.

I bought the book, based on "Cambridge Press" name....but disappointed...so many mistakes in this book.
