3.0 out of 5 stars The Name Says it All!, August 15, 1999

By A Customer

This book was taught to us in the first semester of our bachelor in Computer Science program. The approach and language of the book keeps non-native of English on their toes in understanding but when you complete this book and get all the concepts you find out that you didnt waste your time! and as the name suggests (and according to the COMPUTER SCIENCE strategy accquired by the institutes around the world), in teaching Computer Science 'a breath first approach' is best! To accomplish this task, no other book comes near it.
