Where to learn basic data structures and algorithms

Question

I suck at basic data structures and algorithms. I'm just wondering where is the best place to get good at these? best websites to use, best books, or anyone have a list of what to learn?

I learned a lot from Knuth&rsquo;s series The Art of Computer Programming decades ago. That&rsquo;s at least a solid foundation. Harvard&rsquo;s CS50 is available online, to name one of many reputable comp sci classes you can find.

I suggest searching for past AskHNs on the topic. This question is one of the most frequently asked, at least monthly I reckon.
