Systematic Program Design: From Clarity to Efficiency

摘要

Liu's book is an excellent read for working programmers who occasionally struggle with producing efficient algorithms. It also serves as a valuable introduction to the use of systematic techniques in software development. It deserves a linear read-through, and can then serve as a reference to be kept next to the keyboard when applying its techniques. It does not replace but rather complements a good selection of books on algorithms on a programmer's bookshelf.
