5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Block of a Programmer's Foundation, August 18, 2000
By Peter N. Roth (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With only five chapters and 365 pp, this text presents fundamental data structures, sorting, the best treatise I've found on recursion, dynamic information structures, and language structures & compilers. The date of the text precludes object-oriented programming, yet the tools presented here are welcome adjuncts for Delphi developers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book every programmer must read, July 22, 1999
By A Customer
This is the book every beginning programmer must read. Modern programmers know a lot about specific technical details, but they know nothing about effective algorithms. We're hiring new programmers now. We've tested a lot of folks with 5-8 years experience in Java. The result is nobody can implement basic operations with B-tree or combinatory algorithm. It's terrible. So read Niklaus Wirth if you want to be a serious programmer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Provides programming depth, May 28, 1999
By A Customer
With technologies moving faster than the speed of thought, people... especially youngsters work hard to keep up with fast moving specifications, versions of languages etc. and ignore basic programming logic... depth in programming.

This is one of those books that is ideally suited for youngsters who want to become good programmers who are not only technically sound, but have programming DEPTH, which is very important.

This book should be on the shelves of every computer science enthusiast and it does not hurt to read it once in a while to reestablish the foundations.
