資料結構(Data Structures) 是一門電腦科學領域的基礎課程，其目的是研究如何將資料有組織地存放到電腦記憶體中，以提升程式之執行效率的一門學問。因此，有良好的資料結構(Data Structure) 及有效率的演算法(Algorithm) 將可以大大的提升程式的執行效率。在電腦科學(Computer Science) 的領域中，我們如何透過電腦來取得即時有用的資訊，那就必須要將資料交由程式去運作，而「程式」就是由「資料結構」和「演算法」所構成的。 隨著資訊科技的進度，傳統資訊核心課程的理論之運用更顯得重要。因此，筆者特別加入目前重要的發展議題。例如：物聯網、智慧型機器人及大數據，其中以「智慧型機器人」為主題，加入不少相關的例子，並且將重要的理論，利用互動式圖解APP 方式來呈現。因為筆者在最近這幾年來專注於機器人及手機APP 的相關研究及各種比賽的經驗，想透過本書來分享給讀者在學習資料結構的同時，也能夠了解它們的各種運用。 動態展示演算法：這本書共有九個章節，每一章節筆者都利用圖解說明、循序漸進的表達方式，來引導學習者有效地學習資料結構，除此之外，特別加入「互動式APP 動態展示演算法的實際運作原理」之實作介面，它是利用 AppInventor 的視覺化程式語言所撰寫而成。如此，學生更容易了解老師上課講解的理論背後演算法的運作程序。
