I took Kevin Wayne's Data Structures and Algorithms course this year and I
think his (and Sedgewick's) book is really quite excellent. There's also a relevant
course site (full of lecture slides, demos, etc.) that accompanies the book
brilliantly.

Can find the book and course site linked from here:
http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/
Apparently, it will also be on Coursera in the Fall, so if you're interested, check it
out.

Even though Data Structure is programming language agnostic, it's better to

learn them with language you like. In Java, you can refer following books:

Data Structures and Algorithms Made Easy in Java

Data Structures and Algorithms in Java by Michael T. GoodReach

If you are learning data structures, you need not relate that to Java. Learn the
generic concepts about the data structures and that will be applicable to every
language. Here is some of the best books that will be very useful for learning
data structures.

Data Structures and Algorithms in Java (2nd Edition): Robert Lafore:

Originally Answered: What are good books or resources for learning data structures in Java?

The following books should help you to learn data structures in Java:-
1. Data Structures and Algorithms in Java by Robert Lafore

2. Algorithms in Java, Parts 1-4 by Robert Sedgewick

3. Algorithms in Java, Part 5 Robert Sedgewick

4. Coursera

The above mentioned resources should ensure that your foundation in

data structures is quite strong.
However, I would suggest that ( if your Java knowledge is decent
enough ) you try the lectures on Coursera first. They are quite good and
can teach you many things quickly.
If your java knowledge is itself sketchy, then I would seriously suggest
starting with Lafore. It teaches data structures in an extremely lucid
way.
The books by Sedgewick can be referred as and when the need arises.

easy subject or skill to understand, but this book deploys an interactive

approach to help clear many concepts with easy-to-grasp explanations. Data
structure is a method of organizing computer data so that it can further be used
effectively. These organized data structures are the key to effective algorithm-
designing for different databases and internet indexing services. This book
simplifies ideas and data-structure in a lucid way, so that even a novice
computer engineering student can properly understand them. The major topics
included in the book are Recursion and Backtracking, Linked Lists, Stacks,
Queues, Trees, Priority Queue and Heaps, Disjoint Sets ADT, Graph Algorithms,
Sorting, Searching, Selection Algorithms (Medians), Symbol Tables, Hashing,
String Algorithms, Algorithms Design Techniques, Greedy Algorithms, Divide
and Conquer Algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Complexity Classes and
Miscellaneous Concepts. All these topics contain various puzzles to improve
thinking power, enumerations to possible solutions and all codes written in
Java. Hence, the comprehensive book covers all topics for competitive entrance
exams. Not only examination viewpoint, but the book is also a good reference
manual for working people and campus preparation. Moreover, the book even
includes various interview questions based on Data Structure and Algorithms.
So, it’s also a useful guide to help a computer engineering student prepare for
potential job interviews.
