Introduction

 1.1 The Course of This Course

In a nutshell, this course has two foci: The ﬁrst is the eﬃcient management and

manipulation of data. The second is the ability to implement methods for eﬃcient

management and manipulation of data in a modern high-level programming lan-

guage, which in this case happens to be Java

. This is not intended to be “a course

in Java”; rather, it is a course in the use of data structures and algorithms that uses

Java as the vehicle for turning concepts into the details of implementations. In the

ﬁnal analysis, most people do not get paid to talk about how one might compute

something; they get paid to facilitate ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
