我建议你耐下心来精读一本带有代码示例的优秀算法与数据结构教材。我推荐 Sedgewick 的《Algorithms I and II》，或者是 Weiss 的《Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java》（也有 C++ 版）。我还听说 Lafore 的《Data Structures and Algorithms in Java》口碑也不错。上面这几本书非常适合初学者。你应该做好会碰到不少困难的心理准备……
I suggest that you work patiently through a good text on algorithms and data structures that has code samples in it. I recommend "Algorithms I and II" by Sedgewick or "Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java" (or the C++ version) by Weiss. I also hear good things about "Data Structures and Algorithms in Java" by Lafore. The above books are quite apt for beginners. You should expect to struggle a…
我刚在哥伦比亚大学修了《Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis》，[大部分内容]我都很喜欢。老师讲得超棒，学到了很多东西。我是通过 Postbacc / 继续教育项目申请去上的。虽然稍微折腾了点，但总体还好。课程……
I just took Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis at Columbia and really enjoyed [most of] it. Teacher was great and learned a ton. I applied to the Postbacc / Continuing Edu program to take it. Was a little bit of a pain but not too bad. Courses are…
……非常好的选择。书很棒，算法量很大，事实上关于算法的书也极好。其中一本真正不错的是《Effective Java》第二版。另一本与算法相关的（篇幅不长但很扎实）书是《Data structures and algorithm analysis in Java》。先别误会我啊，我可能会有点主观偏见，因为我觉得在 Eclipse IDE 里用 Java 做很多事情要比用其他工具顺手得多。硕士毕业后我直接搞了个 startup，发展得不太顺利。不过依然……
…very good choice. Good books, great amounts of algorithms, in fact great algorithm books too. One really good one is Effective Java, sEcond edition. Another algorithm related (short but solid) book is Data structures and algorithm analysis in Java. Now, don't take me wrong. I might be a little biased, because I find it easier to do a lot more in Java on Eclipse IDE, than anything else. Started a startup right after MS, didn't go so well. Still…
……光靠代码去理解它们。当然市面上确实有不那么晦涩的入门书，但 Cormen（算法导论）才是每个优秀程序员书架上都能看到的经典（而且他们真的会去读！）。补充 —— Mark Allen Weiss 写的《Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis》就是一本常见的、没那么深奥的入门教材。考虑到它的定位，其实写得还挺不错的。
…them through code alone. There are certainly less dense introductions to the subject, but Cormen is the classic that you'll see on every good programmer's shelf (and they even read it, too!) Edit -- "Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis" by Mark Allen Weiss is an example of a common, less-dense introductory text. It's actually not bad, given its intent.
Clifford Schaffer 的《Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis》系列书籍有在线版，目前已经是第三版了。Dover 出版社有纸质版出售。另外还有一个正在开发中的、成熟且完全开源的算法与数据结构课程体系。http://people.cs.vt.edu/~shaffer/Book/
Clifford Schaffer's Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis books are online and in their third edition. Hard copies are available from Dover. There's also a full blown open Algorithms and Data Structures curriculum in development. http://people.cs.vt.edu/~shaffer/Book/
……只要你动力足够强。那么就剩下下面这个问题了：你想以哪种方式去学？自学！（第 4 页）| 去大学里学！（第 5 页）（第 4 页）酷。我建议可以先 Google 一下 Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis 作为起点……如果你愿意去读（哪怕只读懂一半）Knuth 的书，你大概率能让任何计算机本科生自愧不如。去大干一场吧。翻到第 6 页！（第 5 页）酷。显而易见的……
…if you are motivated enough. That leaves us with the question below: How do you want to do the work? On My Own! (Page 4) | At A University! (Page 5) (Page 4) Cool. I guess I’d recommend googling Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis as starting-off points…if you wanted to read (and understand even half of) Knuth’s books, you could most likely put any CS Bachelor to shame. Have at it. GO TO PAGE 6! (Page 5) Cool. The one obvious…
