Beginning the trainning for a programming contest

To compete in a programming contest you will need some tools to be able to begin.
First of all, you will need a good reference to learn the programming methods used to solve problems in the contest, and a very good book in this topic is Art of Programming Contest and also it is free.
Second, you will need to choose the programming language that you will use to solve the problems,and I will recommend C or C++, because of their fast speed.
Third you will need to find problems to train by solving them, there are many problem sites from them UVA Judge in contains a lot of cool problems that will train you to contest problems.
And I will try to solve problems and publish them on this blog, and I will hope that you will enjoy them.
Finally you will need to make a template that you will use to code directly
