Hmm..only upvotes but no comments yet. Has anyone here taken this course? Was it good?

Also, I get an error when I go to videos page. Does anyone here have an updated link to videos?

Video are also accessible through youtube. Here is the link :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dkbFf82_b8&list=PL07B3F10B4...

Currently I am studying his algorithm course. His lecture videos in conjunction with his book(The Algorithm Design Manual) has been a great resource.

I have graduated before this course existed, but I did take the Data Structures and Algorithms with Skiena, and trained for the ICPC using his Programming Challenges book.

Skiena's books and instruction are a delight, and our team went on to ACM ICPC Finals in Sweden.

I can highly recommend the course and the book it is based on. Note that the links to online judges appear to be broken. Use [1] and [2] for your practice.

How taxing was the training? Few guys I knew in school had no life other than code for ICPC on TopCoder.

Once a week-ish practice sessions. We were doing it for fun.
