I think that it pays to implement the code yourself. Even though you think you understand a concept, you haven't tested it till you write the code. IMO, there is no better way to learn algorithms than implementing, tweaking, profiling and trying to visualize them.

(#4786158)
I need some basic examples smething in the order of "tips on implementing algorithms"
So the question to those who have already read this is: Is there a blog or a site or something of that sort that has covered this book and posted code samples or something like that.
