It isn't an easy topic to learn, but it is also one of my favorite topics. I'm actually currently learning Computer Science on edX. I am taking the Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python course, which I found hard, but wonderful.

Why don't you look this up instead of asking me? I bet the Internet has more information on this then my own brain :wink:

However, I am warning you, this isn't an easy topic just to understand right away.

Coursea also has classes on data structure and algorithm. Check out udacity for algorthihm courses. They are like treehouse with videos and answering questions. My college teaches algorithms class. This is the name of the book they are using, C++ Programming: Program Design Including Data Structures. Sometimes the local library will partner with online apps that offer digital book,audio book, etc. I rent two ebook every month on data structure and algorithms for free.

Hope this helps. Next spring I'm taking that class at my local college. So I could give you information about it after that if you still need it.
