Data Structures and Algorithms Using Visual Basic.NET
What This Title Covers
Core data structures and algorithms implemented in VB.NET. Covers arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, hash tables, sorting algorithms, and searching algorithms with clear VB.NET implementations. The data structure and algorithm concepts are language-agnostic fundamentals—learning them in VB.NET gives you knowledge that transfers to any programming language.
Who It's For
VB.NET developers who need stronger foundations in data structures and algorithms. Computer science students using VB.NET. Any developer who wants to understand why certain operations are fast and others are slow, regardless of their primary language.
Key Chapters and Concepts

- Linked lists (singly, doubly, circular)
- Stacks and queues with practical applications
- Binary trees and binary search trees
- Graph representations and traversal algorithms
- Hash tables and collision resolution
- Sorting algorithms (bubble, insertion, merge, quick)
- Searching algorithms (linear, binary, hashing)
