The best book for programmers needing algorithms not theory.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book did a better job than any other of teaching me sliding window dictionary encoding and adaptive huffman encoding. It got right to the point in an easy to understand fashon. There was no thick cloud of theory masking the information I needed. Read this book before you read others on the subject of data compression.
Very useful for the application-oriented

If your primary interest is in writing compression algorithms, this is the book you want. It does a fine job of explaining several different techniques, and shows you how to implement them.It's light on the theory side, so if you're more interesting in the "why" than the "what", you may want to choose a different book. One exception to this is the explanation of arithmetic coding and statistical methods, which can actually be read and understood in one pass.
