I followed Coursera and the Karatsuba Multiplication algorithm made me reignite my interest in algorithms and data structures. Coursera is a good start followed by the Data Structures and Algorithms in Java book. Learning logarithmic analysis is a prerequisite in my opinion.

Thanks for the suggestion! Can you please suggest any book that deals with algorithms in python or other "non-heavy" languages ? I mean to ask, that i haven't invested much time in learning java. All i have learnt about computers is on the job and i am more comfortable working with scripting languages and / or C. Hence the request.
