They have several people in the company who understand the mechanics of
programming, but don't really understand the concepts. I am looking for
a book to recommend to them. I would really like to find a book that
just discusses programming, and avoids any one particular language. It
would have to cover the common imperative controls, as well as basic
data structures.
In my previous company, I recommended Thomas Standish's
_Data Structure Techniques_. It's out of print, but easily (and inexpensively)
available at Amazon. I like the original 1980 edition; his later
_Data Structure Techniques in Java_ is too closely tied to the
Java language.
It covers the usual data structures (lists, trees, strings, etc.) using pseudocode algorithms. It's at the right level for someone who has gotten the hang of programming at the level of compiling and debugging simple programs and is ready to move onto something more complicated.
