Hello,
what is a good book covering basic algorithms like: trees, hashes?
It should be more for programmers than mathematics ;)

The canonical answer is probably "The Art of Computer Programming",
by Donald Knuth. Sorting and searching is in Volume 3.

A perhaps somewhat easier to read book is one of the "Algorithms
in XXX" (replace XXX by C, C++, Modula-3, Java and I don't know
what else) by Robert Sedgewick.

i agree. i'd add to that introduction to algorithms by cormen, et al, and
introduction to computing and algorithms by shackelford, both of which are
excellent.

also, dads <http://www.nist.gov/dads/> can be a useful resource.
