[DMANET] Textbook: Open Data Structures

Textbook: Open Data Structures

I am pleased to announce the following open content textbooks

Open Data Structures (in Java) Edition 0.1
Open Data Structures (in C++) Edition 0.1Beta

These books, and accompanying source code, are freely available at

http://opendatastructures.org/

About

Open Data Structures covers the implementation and analysis of data
structures for sequences (lists), queues, priority queues, unordered
dictionaries, and ordered dictionaries.

Data structures presented in the book include stacks, queues, deques,
and lists implemented as arrays and linked-list; space-efficient
implementations of lists; skip lists; hash tables and hash codes;
binary search trees including treaps, scapegoat trees, and red-black
trees; and heaps, including implicit binary heaps and randomized
meldable heaps.

The data structures in this book are all fast, practical, and have
provably good running times. All data structures are rigorously
analyzed and implemented in Java and C++. The Java implementations
implement the corresponding interfaces in the Java Collections
Framework.

The book and accompanying source code are free (libre and gratis) and
are released under a Creative Commons Attribution License. Users are
free to copy, distribute, use, and adapt the text and source code,
even commercially. The book's LaTeX sources, Java/C++ sources, and
build scripts are available through github.
