Problem Solving with Data Structures Using Java: A Multimedia Approach
“An innovative departure from the typical presentation of this content; it uses a multimedia context to highly engage students. This is a refreshing applied/practical presentation than the more common abstract one.” — Tom Wulf, University of Cincinnati College of Applied Science“This textbook [Guzdial/Ericson] may be a way to introduce computer science students to data structures without losing them as majors!” — Helen Hu, Westminster College“The applications are just so darn interesting!” — Kathy Liszka, University of Akron“Overall, I think the examples and applications are more interesting and relevant than other CS2 textbooks that I have seen before.” — Timothy Huang, Middlebury College“This text [Guzdial/Ericson] explores data structures using the context of pictures, sounds, music, animations, and simulations. It provides rich context for learning about the structuring of data using Java.” — Charles Fowler, Gainesville State College“Other data structures books are generally boring. Guzdial/Ericson uses media computation successfully in introductory programming courses in both Java and Python. Students can see the usefulness and relevancy of programming to manipulating digital media.”  — Kam Fui Lau, Armstrong Atlantic State University
