Data Structures in Java: A visual introduction uses a visually-based approach designed to help students appreciate concepts using their prior experiences and expectations. This vibrant visual approach is as rigorous and content-filled as the typical text-based approach but is a better match for today's students who already have experience with how computers are used in their lives. The text provides applications and labs for subjects of interest such as Biology, Business, Sports, and Entertainment that are presented in visually-appealing presentations students can explore with little technical support from instructors. An accompanying website provides handouts, animations, and links to additional interactive resources.
