I think I might go with this recommendation, maybe watch the CS61B videos as and when necessary.

I did the intro course from the sedgewick and wayne from coursera along with their book and loved it. Would recommend it to anyone who likes a decent challenge while learning. The book is pretty dense.

I would second the Coursera course(s), which is one of the best MOOCs I've ever taken (Algorithms 1 & 2 from Princeton).

Watch the videos, then read the relevant section of the text book, and don't miss the assignments which were fantastic ways to learn about the nuances of writing efficient algorithms and data structures.

If only every programming MOOC put that much effort into their autograders...
