I also highly recommend Sedgwick: http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/ http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/ I haven't read the new edition, but his older editions were very accessible. More for practitioners. For example, I don't think there were many, if any proofs (but I may be way wrong on that). A good amount of actual code though.
