It's hard to understand the how (data structure) without the why (algorithms).

I found Sedgewick's Algorithms to have quite good coverage of data structures, however.

Thank you. I've seen that book actually, as Professor Sedgewick has a Coursera Algorithms course. Would you say it's appropriate for a second course (following Intro to CS)?

It's appropriate for anyone that knows the basics of programming.
