Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Walter John Savitch (born February 21, 1943) is best known for discovering the complexity class NL (nondeterministic logarithmic space), and for Savitch's theorem, which defines a relationship between the NSPACE and DSPACE complexity classes. His work in establishing complexity classes has helped to create the background against which non-deterministic and probabilistic reasoning can be performed.

He has also done extensive work in the field of natural language processing and mathematical linguistics. He has been focused on computational computing as it applies to genetics and biology for over 10 years.

Aside from his work in theoretical computer science, Savitch has written a number of textbooks for learning to program in C/C++, Java, Ada, Pascal and others.

Savitch received his PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley in 1969 under the supervision of Stephen Cook. Since then he has been a professor at UCSD where he is currently a professor emeritus in the computer science department.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal book for Java beginners
Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2016
Verified Purchase
The authors style of explaining concepts makes it a very easy read. This book was a textbook required for my course and at the end I am satisfied having purchased this book. The book appears to be very verbose with repetitions, but the author explains concepts in a very easy to grasp style, which can be very useful to readers being introduced to Java for the first time. The book is not for advanced Java developers - the author deliberately has kept out the complex Java features to make it easy for beginners. So, if you are still learning Java, I would definitely recommend reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Learning Java Fun
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2014

Great book - thoroughly explains everything from start to finish.
Easy to understand for the novice/beginner programmer, and a good reference tool for those who can already write in Java.
Lots of code and cute little quotes - not just a bunch of boring text to fall asleep to!
Would highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Per me miglior libro di Java in inglese in circolazione per neofiti
Reviewed in Italy on 8 March 2014
Verified Purchase
Il libro è scritto in un inglese molto semplice e la grafica del libro è molto funzionale. Acquistando il libro si ha anche accesso a 30-40 video che spiegano esercizi presenti sul testo (ottima cosa) e si possono scaricare tutti i file java degli esempi presenti sul testo. Il libro presenta anche ad ogni paragrafo Self-Test Exercises che sono molto utili per capire la comprensione del testo. Sconsiglio vivamente testi in italiano, io ho provato Programmazione in Java di Bruni et etc. ma mi sono trovato malissimo subito accantonato. Buono studio.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the basics, clear and direct
Reviewed in the United States on 22 March 2015

This book has been clear and efficient. It is the selected text for course SWE510 at George Mason University. It's easy to read and really teaches you the basics step by step. I've been working with Java in 3+ courses before this, and this is the first time I feel like I actually have the core ideas of inheritance, polymorphism, OOP, really explained fully.
