Power up C++ with the Standard Template Library - Topcoder: Part 1, Part 2

In the C/C++ section, these links are invalid.
Actually the Topcoder Data Science Tutorials Page is Under Construction.

A list of IDEs to be added.

CLI:

• Vim
• Emacs
• Far Manager

GUI:

• Codeblocks
• IntelliJ IDEA
• CLion
• CodeLite
• Geany

(Do people actually use the following for compeititive programming?)

• Visual Studio
• Sublime Text
• Atom

Special Place:

• Orwell Dev-C++
  Seems to be discontinued --- again,
  but many people still like it I think ...

I personally have tried everything on this list (always like to explore new software),
so I think I can say a thing or two about almost everything (except maybe Far which I couldn't manage to set it up on my Windows).
Probably won't rate this list because each has its merits.

As Python 2 and Python 3 have been officially added in the World Finals of ACM ICPC https://icpc.baylor.edu/worldfinals/programming-environment , I would recommend you to add it as well in Language Specifics.

The "Data Structures and Algorithms - CodeChef Discuss" link is broken.

The link leads to a private playlist as of today.

Link to How to Win Coding Competitions: Secrets of Champions is broken. It shows 404 error.

Here is the Problem Archive. The link in the "Sites for Practice" section is outdated.

ChefLib is a platform where one can share their codes to help other understanding and get a flavor of git with it.

I think you should add useful c++ shorthands.

This website is hosted by a student group at IIT Roorkee.
Please add this to your list ...

The given link to tcframe's website is broken. This should be replaced with their Github instead.

Can I add tcframe ?

"tcframe is a C++ framework for generating test cases of competitive programming problems. This framework helps problem writers prepare test cases in a structured manner and ensures that the generated test cases are valid according to the specified constraints."

tcframe is being heavily developed by Ashar Fuadi. It is based on a paper submitted to IOI conference in 2015: Introducing tcframe: A Simple and Robust Test Cases Generation Framework, written by the same author.

tcframe was mainly inspired from testlib, written by Mike Mirzayanov et al.

OI-wiki is a great resource for OI in Chinese.

A2oj appears to be down.

7 days to removal.

Hello!
Shouldn't adventofcode.com be in the list?
And, maybe, Bogdanp/awesome-advent-of-code

Tutorials from HackerEarth.

The tutorials on this site are inconsistent in terms of quality with most of them being short and code-based. It feels as if they are for somebody who has learned that particular algorithm or data structure already.
For this reason, I will not be referencing this site until some QA works have been put forth.

Dear All:

For now,
I think I've finished adding all the relevant awesome resources in here.

As a competitive programmer for a solid 10 years,
I think these are almost all I know (I do have something else, but unfortunately they're confidential).

In the end, I just hope that you enjoy this list just as much as I enjoyed making it.
And remember: Competition isn't just about winning. It's what you've gained that matters :)

Cheers!

PS. Oh and, save me some ACM-ICPC snacks will you? :P

Add www.microprediction.com streaming data resources and competitions

https://github.com/IEEEXtreme all official content.
Would this contest be a good fit in this list ?

This issue is created to collect and discuss recommendations for books.

I think we would need 5 subjects: Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Concrete Mathematics, Probabilities and Statistics and Game Theory.

Personally I've only taken courses on Discrete Mathematics and (Elementary) Linear Algebra. Therefore, I cannot really judge the quality of the books.

Currently what I have in mind:

• Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications, by Kenneth H. Rosen
  This one is pretty decent I think. I have this one on my shelf. The topics included are surprisingly relevant to competitive programming. There were many "ah ha" moments (ie. found something I saw in programming problems or resources) while I was studying the book.
• Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science, by Ronald L. Graham, Donald E. Knuth, Oren Patashnik
  I think it should be the one (seeing Knuth). I glanced through the table of contents once and thought it was fine. Nevertheless, I haven't read the book yet.

The ones I'm not quite sure:

• Linear Algebra with Applications, by Steven J. Leon
• Fundamentals of Probability, with Stochastic Processes, by Saeed Ghahramani
• The Joy of Game Theory: An Introduction to Strategic Thinking, by Presh Talwalkar
  This one is take from here.
  I'm also not sure how relevant game theory is. I have seen problems, but only limited to Sprague–Grundy theorem.

Extra one recommended by 演算法筆記:

• How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method, by G. Polya

In Blog section, the link attached with Fushar's Blog is broken. I think the website is no longer active.
If the website is actively maintained still now, please update the link.

Many many thanks for this awesome repo !! ❤️

CodeNCode (kazama460)'s youtube channel is now moved to link

Toph seems to be a pretty good CP site with plenty of problems.

Once I'm done with all the things on hand (could seriously take a while ...)
I will be working on a cleaner tabular layout for each category.

This is to add more information to each item.
For example, Ratings (How recommended is this resource) and Remarks.

Leaving this note here just so that I won't forget about it weeks later.
