So. I've been trying to study up on basic alg/ds theory. Here are a few things I discovered: I have grown a deeper appreciation for all the universities that put their class materials online, like UCB EECS, MIT OCW, etc. And Khan Academy and YouTube have also been helpful. CLRS is a dense read, but surprisingly enjoyable. I think I'm enjoying it as much as I did K&R and SICP. I'm not good at alg/ds code implementation, but it feels really great when I finally get something working. :) Studying this stuff is like a full time thing...
