Summary: The Bible of Data Structures and Algorithms
Comment: As always, Robert Lafore has written a book which is always to be kept in one's library. This book has two qualities; 1) written by Robert Lafore, and 2) published by SAMS.

The best quality of Robert Lafore is that he answers the questions exactly the same time when they are rising in your mind.

SAMS has a history of publishing books for novices, making them experts.

Summary: Good starter
Comment: A while ago, I told a more experienced programmer friend of mine that I wanted to study algorithms,he laughed at me. He also gave me a book to read. After the first chapter I realized why he laughed. This is definitely not an easy subject.But when I came across TYS DS and Algorithms I finally got a chance to understand the topic. I have a lot of algorithms books but if you have no experience and need to learn the subject in a short time, then this is the book for you. I am a self taught programmer and I needed to learn about algorithms real fast.This book put me on the right track.Now I think I am ready for the more difficult books.

Summary: Great for technician level programmers
Comment: I consider myself a "technician level" programmer.. in other words, my main job title is somewhere in the realm of "make this electronic device functional" and "the network died.. fix it", with the responsibility for the odd bit of utility programming now and then. Considering this, I use this book as basically a brush-up on elementary algorithms and data structures that come into play when doing that bit of utility code. Computer science types will likely consider this book "Data Structures and Algorithms Lite" as it eschews the grinding proofs and NP discussions in favor of actual code in more of a cook book style. Not a bad book for technicians, though I would have preferred some pseucocode and less language specific stuff, but I suppose that defies the nature of this type of book in the first place.
