DBOTTOMS@DEPAUW.BITNET ("Transporter Chief, Douglas J. Bottoms") (04/13/90)
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Modula II Bitnet Mailing Lists:
I have a need for a suggestion(s) for some very good books that I can
study to prepare me for a class on Data Structures. The class will either be
taught in Pascal or Modula II. Any Help will be appreciated. Please send all
message directly to Dbottoms@DePauw because I do not have the priviledge of
being on a ListServer. Thank you.

Dear Douglas,
The book we use here at the University of Buffalo is "Introduction to
Data Structures" by David Riley, parts one and two. It is a extremely
good book for teaching the basic concepts of programming and specifics
of Mod-2.
Part one concerns itself mostly with very simple (but important)
concepts, such as simple data types like CARDINAL or CHAR, and array and
record structures. Part two smoothly moves onto topics such as pointers
and recursion.
This book has been used here for the bottom level CS courses since
modula-2 was first taught here (approximately 1987).
