Its best to learn first what Algorithms are used were and why. Almost every algorithm has its place, something I wish I knew before I took my first programming class. This may seem like some trivia but employers like to know that you know what solution to use for a problem. Also it will spark your interest for actually programming a solution. Then just try to implement the most mundane Algorithms, like bubble sort, by only reading what it does, not the solution.
