Comment on Ask HN: When was your "ah-ha" moment when learning how to program?

Comments

Data structures. I could understand control flow, looping, etc, but until I took the time to understand data structures, I was always copying example code and trying to guess at what would work.

You can self teach yourself alot by learning as you go, but until I took the time to specifically study data structures I hadn't made it over the hump, my 'ah-ha' moment so to speak.

hmmm... ok. I've been hearing a lot on how learning Data Structures (from creeping other Ask HN questions) helps.

Can you recommend a good source on learning data structures?
