data structures 
i never had respect for this dummy books, but this one deserves some. i guess its becoz the had a simple subject to explain, and that waht they good at.it good for all entry level.
A great introduction to the complex topic of data structures 
While I am used to more rigorous presentations I began reading this book before reading several more academic works on data structures and the book does simplify the topic while presenting a robust C++ and Java example of the data structure itself, using object oriented code. An example is the doubly linked list - the author includes the theory and code to implement a doubly linked list in C++ and Java and the code works great - expanding on this code I can expect to design a linked list containing much more complicated objects. I was surprised that the book is as good as it really is - I expected a much more "watered-down" presentation than the author actually gives -- the author is great!
