I'm not sure how relevant it is to the work that many web application programmers do every day, which fairly rarely involves algorithm optimization. I understand that there are lots of optimization heavy jobs out there, but I'm not really sure that it is important for many of us (esp. since there are lots of great developers out there without a Comp Sci training). To the downvoters: Do you disagree? If so please tell me why.
