If you&#x27;re interested in Data Structures classes, I also strongly recommend Keith Schwartz&#x27;s CS166. Unfortunately there are no public video recordings afaik, but slides and handouts are available, and also of exceptional quality: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.stanford.edu&#x2F;class&#x2F;archive&#x2F;cs&#x2F;cs166&#x2F;cs166.1196&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.stanford.edu&#x2F;class&#x2F;archive&#x2F;cs&#x2F;cs166&#x2F;cs166.1196&#x2F;</a>

This is a really interesting class, and Erik Demaine is a top notch lecturer. If you&#x27;re interested in algorithms I can easily recommend this class.<p>This isn&#x27;t intro material though, and most of it is fairly niche in terms of usage. Your average programmer probably won&#x27;t use any of this knowledge.<p>The most generally useful bits I remember were on the different types of persistence in data structures, which is legitimately cool and occasionally useful, especially in purely fuctional programming.<p>I also found the link-cut trees to be about the most interesting data structure I know of, they&#x27;re cool as hell. You start with a pretty simple DS (splay trees), add some interesting analysis that&#x27;s also related to heavy-light decomposition, and extend them to do something impressive. It&#x27;s just a fun mix of analysis and implementation towards a goal. The moment it clicked for me was one of those once-a-year satisfaction events.<p>If any of that somehow talked you into doing this class, I&#x27;d recommend the Intro to Algorithms class also in MIT OCW first, at least one of the years is partially taught by Erik Demaine as well.
