Ask HN: What is the best to prepare for competitive programming contests?

Hello! I'm interested in learning how to solve problems such as those from Google Code Jam. What is the best way to do that? What books should I read? What websites/resources should I use?

Thank you!

There are plenty of YouTube videos of people solving Code Jam problems while talking about what they're doing -- I'd probably start with those.
