Ask HN: What is the best to prepare for competitive programming contests?

1 points by deyouz 6y ago ↗ HN

Hello! I'm interested in learning how to solve problems such as those from Google Code Jam. What is the best way to do that? What books should I read? What websites/resources should I use?

Thank you!

There are plenty of YouTube videos of people solving Code Jam problems while talking about what they're doing -- I'd probably start with those.
