Thank you for your response.
This is something that I really have been trying to cover in my spare time. Unfortunately (in this regard) my degree is very 'industry-focused' and hence discards the more 'theoretically inclined' units. Something which I disagree with personally, however that's a discussion for a different time and place.
I'm currently undertaking Intro to Algs from MIT (6.006). With my given course load this is about as much as I can commit to this area at the moment. I however feel like I need to be doing more in this area. What would you recommend? I feel like getting results on Topcoder/et.al would provide a nice tangible learning experience. Would you agree with this or recommend some other activity/resource?
