Practical Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms Using Java

Not really helpful. i would rather to read the open source package on github.

If you are looking for a book that introduces the most fundamental concepts in computer science, this is the one. Sufficiently well written for the motivated student to teach themselves, and the best course textbook for scaffolding students with a wide range of preparation (from the novice to intermediate CS student).

This is a very hands on books..has lots of good exercises...
