Does everyone here put all his time on competitive programming practice? or you have other programming skills such as Android development, web development ? I want to start practicing on competitive programming very hard , but I'm a university student , should I learn another things besides competitive programming? Any advices ? Or experiences ? Sorry for my bad English btw.

Занимайся спортом не будь дрыщем и зодротом и все будет ХО-РО-ШО!!!!

Еще можно умные книжки почитать например вот эту: ВИКТОР ПЕЛЕВИН GENERATION П. Если поймешь хотя бы 1 треть то станешь намного умнее мне помогло!!!! Особенно про вау импульсы почитай если бы все на кодфорцес прочитали то иза рейтинга никто бы не минусовал ни кого!!! Ну и вообще там много про КАРМУ про ВЕЧНОЕ особено если читать не умом а душой!!!

Но видемо НЕ ТЕ КНИЖКИ В ДЕТСТВЕ ЧИТАЛИ кодфорсовцы, НЕ ТЕ .....(((((

    Here you go. Football :) Actually doing any sport or physical activity is very good. You can not be productive just sitting in front of PC all the time.

Things I actually do:
1. Sadly wasting time doing nothing wandering around Internet
2. Playing table tennis
3. Playing PIU (sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INbq_EIDv7U) (however after coming back to Poland it will move to next category)

Things that I wish I would be doing more often:
1. Playing football
2. Playing computer games (few of my favorites: Captain Claw, Raymans, Worms) / DS games (Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton)
3. Hanging out with friends

Normally you'll have 2 choices, either going into research, or going into software development (web, mobile, ...). I now work as web developer, so I'll talk more about the 2nd stuff.

When you're in university you'll usually need to pick up other skills for software development anyways. Do school projects seriously, understand what is going on here and there, and you'll be fine. Anw, I picked up enough stuff to be able to get an OK job as web developer now.

Anw, for me I don't like software engineering in general. Usually it's like: You need to write some interesting piece of code? Oh, let's use that library that already implements this. So the most interesting task is usually to debug some weird bug. So I'm happy that I spent more time in Competitve Programming which is much more interesting.

    Well, it depends on field of software development. I don't have much experience(1.5-2 years approximately), but last 6 months I've been working on SDN project and it has been pretty fun. Understanding l2 and l3 structure and ways to organize large-scale networks is interesting, plus in networking you can actually apply some stuff from competitive programming and graph algorithms. Some minor examples: Yen's algorithm, customised Eppstein algorithm for kth shortest path in our topology with specific properties.

    Are you doing some hard staff with optimizing databases or parallel processing of 1m incoming requests? Or are you working as a freelancer, doing some landing pages (html + css + javascript + wordpress)? :)

Learn a good programming language to do your projects and work after the university :) don't forget ACM ,I'm an 11th grade student in school and I'm learning competitive programming for IOI ^_^ sorry for my bad English

Apart from CP, I crawl slowly(really slowly) through the Mechanical Engineering syllabus, trying not to get a backlog. And I am not successful there.

I just think that I have no chance to participate in ICPC, and I am really regret for that.

So, I think besides programming, maybe you could take more contests :-), and I am sure you would enjoy a lot in this.

Of course, you might read some books and enjoy the university time.
