Useful Links for Programming

Some Very Useful Educational Tutorials :

The above link has a lot of tutorials to master yourself in Algorithmic C/C++ Programming . The tutorials are very well explained with lots of examples and practise problems . Its a very good way to learn algorithms .

The tutorials are written by World’s Best Programmers accross the Globe , so you can expect great clarity and efficiency. I assure you that it will be a very enjoyable experience !

Learning the Standard Template Library (STL) :

Today no programming contest uses the Borland’s C/C++ Compiler. Every popular contests require the programmers to code in accordance to GCC/ G++ Compiler ( GNU C Compiler ). It has a lot of improvements and new datastructures , and thus makes programming a very comfortable and pleasurable experience. So , learning the STL is almost a must in today’s scenario.

An awesome Problem Arcive :  http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=ProblemArchive

For beginners : http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=ProblemArchive&sr=&er=&sc=&sd=&class=&cat=&div1l=&div2l=1&mind1s=&mind2s=&maxd1s=&maxd2s=&wr=

The above link gives you a lot of very easy problems and helps you a lot to improve your programming skill and to develop a sequential logicalcal flow to solve problems .

Once you are comfortable solving the Division 2 Level 1 Problems , you can proceed to Division 2 , Level 2 Problems .

I would suggest one not to try the above link before gaining a good grip in Algorithm Programming from TopCoder . Trust me , it could be very de-motivating to be unable to solve even a single problem .
