Top coders don't read tutorials.

So from where they learn first

While they are reading tutorials, they aren't yet top coders.

I'm sorry to say this, but...if you have to ask, you aren't ready to enter.

Try looking at previous competitions, see what you can produce, and then compare that to the winning entries - that will at least give you an idea of the scale of the difference between your current experience and skills and those required to win the competition.

After that, it's a case of practice, practice, practice to get the experience you need to be up there at that level. There is no "short cut" via tutorials or anything else which will "magically" make you ready to enter - any more than reading the Highway Code will make you ready to drive 40 tonne trucks for a living!

I am not asking for shortcuts I only want to know from where to start.

OriginalGriff 29-Jan-14 5:57am

Start with what you are good at: and build up experience in that.
To win these competitions you generally need both depth *and* breadth of knowledge, and the only way to get that is from experience.

Sorry - but there is no other way.
