Resources as a fresher to this arena
By monsij, history, 7 years ago, In English

Hello Codeforces community,

I have been trying to improve myself in competitive programming for last 3-4 months,but the progress haven't been so impressive. As I came to know that practice can only help me out,I'm trying constantly to improve.But at a certain point I feel that require some resources which might prove handy and guidinig as well.It will be very helpful if you suggest me some materials to prepare.:-)

Thanks in advance!

Nothing better than a well organised book, rather than looking for bits and pieces on the internet.

A free book: Competitive Programmer's Handbook, written by Antti Laaksonen

A book which you can buy (and it is worth the money!): Competitive Programming 3

      I strongly recommend this book, too! It talks about a large number of techniques used in competitive programming, and provides details about how to implement them.

      Sometimes I also find that it is even more convenient to check the book rather than searching on the internet, when I met a complicated/new topic.
