Hey! i just gave my first codeforces contest yesterday, I have done a little bit of cp on platforms like leetcode and codechef earlier this year, but it feels nice to start coding on this platform.
I have covered basic topics like math, constructive algos, and implementation. I wish to learn the advanced topics like graphs, dp and trees. Will it be advisable to do those from here or another platform/youtube tutorial/course?
Any leads/advice will be very much appreciated :)
me too bro can we work together
sure, are you following a particular roadmap/ what is your plan for the next month?
i have roadmap but i dont like sheets i wanna do random and contests roadmap is first completing number theory and stuff and techniques and then bs,dp,greedy,trees,graphs enough
oh that makes sense, let's try to do those topics together! Could share your resources and we can keep a daily tab on our progress?
Can I join you all too. Tomorrow was my first day too. Btw I am following A2OJ ladder currently. I will have to say, problems in that ladder are fun.
haa definitely
mee too! lets work together on skills?
The CSES book and problem set are pretty good for starting out and learning basically any of the topics you'll see at beginner — intermediate cp.

https://cses.fi/problemset/
Besides that probably just doing some cf contests, sort by rating and topic if you like.
I have heard about cses problem set but do I need to learn advanced algos to get started with it??
Thanks! i was hoping for a little more theoretical/syntactical help with data structures too if possible, any insights on that?
Personally, Luogu(洛谷) is a great option.
Although reading Chinese texts may be a bit challenging, the problems are well-organized, allowing you to progress step by step.

feyre If you make any group where you practice CP, I want to join as well.
Honestly, I think you should make a Discord server where we will practice CP.
i would love to make one but i'm afraid there may me many people who aren't particularly dedicated and we may have cheaters/spammers
hi check dm
check these CF courses: https://codeforces.me/edu/courses
and if u wanna practice DP, there is contest from atcoder.jp. there are enough educational DP problems: https://atcoder.jp/contests/dp
wish u good luck!
Hey! Thanks a lot! I hope we can connect :)
if u want, u can find me at telegram(@heesooyaamm)
I think this sheet will help you a lot more , it was prepared by mustafa saad the sheet is in english but the explanation in videos is in arabic take a look at this sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1iJZWP2nS_OB3kCTjq8L6TrJJ4o-5lhxDOyTaocSYc-k/htmlview#gid=123190759
First read the info and FAQ and checklist to know more on the sheet and how to get most of it
