If you are interested in functional style data structures, Chris Okasaki's book is very good but quite advanced. | |
| Aug 19, 2011 at 7:42 | comment | added | Closure Cowboy | @EricLippert, thank you for this excellent answer. As a self-taught developer who has yet to be bitten by his lack of formal knowledge of data structures, do you recommend a book that could show me what I've been missing? | |
