I've been talking to a lot of tech geeks out there and my conversations fell flat when it came to talking about algorithms. Although I took a few CS classes, I learned most of my coding skills at work, and so really just learned what I needed to learn.
A lot of the code I've written just involved ploughing through and not really thinking about things in a more efficient way, so I'm really devoting myself to studying algorithms.
I'm currently going through Introduction to Algorithms.
