Supplemental Material for Baldwin and Scragg, Algorithms and Data Structures: The Science of Computing; Charles River Media, 2004 (Now published by Cengage Learning)
Most of the HTML files in the Algorithms and Data Structures: The Science of Computing Web site are XHTML 1.0 documents compatible with HTML 4.01, produced by Macromedia® Dreamweaver® MX 6.1. The notable exceptions are the class documentation files, which are HTML 4.01 documents produced by javadoc. All files are readable on any current browser — for example, we test them thoroughly with SafariTM1.2 and Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac® under Mac OS X®, and have viewed them using Mozilla 1.5 under SunOSTM, and Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6.0 under Windows XP®.
We used Java 1.4.2 as our reference for developing the Java classes, but in fact they use little if anything that is unique to Java 1.4.2, and run under most current Java development environments. We use MetrowerksTM CodeWarriorTM 8 under Mac OS X for development and testing, and also test thoroughly using the Java HotSpotTM virtual machine (Java 1.4.2) under SunOS. Students have successfully used the classes with CodeWarrior 8 under Windows XP and Eclipse 2.1.2 under Mac OS X.
The interactive lessons are built around Java applets, which were also developed using Java 1.4.2 as the reference, and also use little that is unique to that version of Java. We test the applets with Safari 1.2 under Mac OS X, Internet Explorer under both Mac OS X and Windows XP, and Netscape® 7.0 under SolarisTM 9 on Sun workstations.
