I read it as Knuth's "The Art of Programming"-contest at first, making me much more interested than I actually was.

  Yeah. I guess the author forgot to read "The Art of Descriptive Titles" beforehand.

This looks like a really good resource for people just starting out with programming contests. It doesn't have a lot of advanced material for more experienced competitors though.

These days there's a great book "Competitive Programming" by Halim, 3rd edition (2013) [1]. Very well written. Amazon states there's only a paperback edition but you can visit the book's page and order its hardcover version. However, I'm linking to Amazon for reviews.

    Please explain how can I make such a link? I wasn't able to find anything except a 'Share' button in the right corner. And I struggle on this only using amazon.

      I opened the shortlink and removed the "/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_0MPsybGT0GSSE" section after checking that the product page loaded without it.

  Unfortunately the book's official website https://cpbook.net/ https://cpbook.net/ is currently returning the following message: > I (Steven) is currently experiencing server upgrading issue (today is 30 Nov 2016)... https://cpbook.net https://cpbook.net will be revived soon when I am done with Semester 1 teaching in NUS next week. The good news is, using the Wayback Machine, I was able to extract the link for purchasing the hardcover book: https://www.lulu.com/commerce/index.php?fBuyContent=13872302 https://www.lulu.com/commerce/index.php?fBuyContent=13872302 Pro tip: Use the coupon code FWD15 for an additional 15% off making the hardcover cheaper than the Amazon paperback price.
