'The Algorithm Design Manual' by Steven Skiena at Stony Brook is a very pragamatic book for
intermediate data structures and algorithms.
This is a definitely aimed at the practitioner who must get something up and running, without
having to worry about big-Oh notation etc.
There's an online version of the book
but it's just so good, I'd recommend that anyone who needs this information, snap up a copy.
Skiena also maintains The Stony Brook Algorithm Repository
It's a treasure, as it includes implementations of some of these algorithms in a variety of programming
languages.
The web page does look somewhat dated, but as a good first step into intermediate
data structures and algorithms.
