Master developer Julian M Bucknall provides Delphi developers a comprehensive overview of using algorithms and data structures from a practical perspective. He begins with a discussion of algorithm performance, and provides comprehensive coverage of such topics as arrays, linked lists, and binary trees. The book focuses on search algorithms--such as sequential and binary search--and sort algorithms--including bubble, insertion, Shell, quicksort, merge sort, and heapsort--along with techniques for optimization. Additionally, the author presents hashing and hash tables; priority queues, state machines and regular expressions; and data compression techniques such as Huffman and LZ77.

Review The Tomes of Delphi: Algorithms and Data Structures

The book starts off with the basic ground work surrounding algorithms: what is a proof? Computer Science, Mathematics and theory, etc.. It basically answers the question why anyone should bother learning about algorithms and the complexity that surrounds this topic. The authors then take a rather unique approach to the theory behind algorithms by discussing program recursion and iteration. It seems a little odd, but it turns out to be a very good way to introduce readers to topic algorithms. Recursions is a topic covered in CS1 courses, and using that as the basis and introduction to algorithm design and correctness proof really reels in the reader and makes the topic easier to grasp.

"Excellent Algorithms book.. A must for delphi developers"
If your a delphi developer and don't own this book.
You should..
It covers a variety of classic algorithms in delphi.
Well worth the money..

"Knuth in a Nutshell for Delphi"
This is the definitive book for those of us who want/need to apply the classic computer science algorithms in Delphi.
Julian's excellent writing style applies the correct mix of theory and application while at the same time explaining and demonstrating why you should use one algorithm over another.
If you are a serious Delphi developer, you need this book on your shelf.

Excellent book.
It's a very well written book with a hard to find proportion of theory and practice. Although Delphi-oriented, I think it's usefull for any programmer.
Thanks to the author for making it available again.
