[QUOTE="david.karr, post: 3576357"]
I would like to find some book resources that focus on applied
algorithms, but that focus less on theory and proofs.  It would be
good if code samples were in Java.  I'd also like it if exercises had
answers, and not just the answer, but the explanation of the answer.
Can anyone recommend any?  I slogged through "Introduction to
Algorithms", but it fell short on some of the things I've described
here. I've noticed "Algorithms in Java" (and I saw Joseph Ottinger's
brief review), but I don't know how close it comes to what I'm looking
for.

Just to put a finer point on this, I'm not looking for a book that
talks about how to implement all the common data structure algorithms,
I'm looking for a book that talks about certain problems, and how to
approach solutions to them using common algorithms.  I'm not asking
for this just so I can get better at typical weird interview questions
(although that would be a nice benefit), I'm just trying to expand my
horizons in this direction, which I believe I'm somewhat weak in.
