Where can I learn algorithms and data structures? (lemm.ee)

I know this can be easily searched over internet, but I want to know your experience. I don't want a medium article listing algorithm courses.

I found Algorithms from Princeton University in coursera, but course is too old and many resources they have provided are not working right now. I would apprentice it if you could share more of an video type resources because I am not good with programming books, I can not focus them.

Thanks in advance...

I've used "Data Structure and Algorithms in Java" by Goodrich, Tamassia & Goldwasser. I used the Java one but they wrote other books covering a lot of other programming languages. Really good book, the arguments are well explained and made easy to read and understand. It starts with a little bit of theory about the language, recursion, analysis methods. Covers the arguments very well, by presenting the Abstract Data Type, pseudo code for all of them and even a Java implementations like 95% of the arguments. Helped me a lot in uni, the book alone did a much better job than my DSA course lecturer and I still got a really good mark.
