Read the original article Hit count: 274

While browsing around the MSDN I came across:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa287104%28v=vs.71%29

which lists various data structures such as:

  • Queues
  • Stacks
  • Hashtables
  • Binary Trees
  • Binary Search Trees
  • Graphs

(I believe there are also Lists) and I was hoping to get a high-level overview of when these various data structures can be used in the broad context of web development, and when used, why one data structure is generally used instead of any other one.
