The two things go hand in hand. It is like pieces of a jigsaw. Now is the right time in my opinion. But you should be able to map the data structures with the programming concepts. For some data structures C/C++ may be better options to consider. I consider myself as a student only and this is my personal approach. May be there is a better way.
