I couldn't find an obvious news group to post in, but given Ada and Ada people have a software-engineering approach lacking in many other communities I figured to ask here. I understand and have implemented things like stacks, queues, and linked-lists in various projects. I never learned about data structures such as trees, and I'm sure there are many more I don't know about. I'm not interested in theory for the sake of theory, since I'm a practising software designer. What I am interested in is having the right kit of tools so I can apply the correct solution to the job. So I need good, practical sources rather than mathematical. I'm concerned about things such as clarity and performance in the code I write. I prefer to stay away from books choosing this or that programming language as the lexicon, although books in Ada would be acceptable because of Ada's clarity. Thanks for any and all suggestions. Cheers.
