I've been building non-complex real-world apps for a very long time.
I am becoming dumb.
Can anybody recommend good algorithm resources, tuts, books, and problems.
I am aware of http://projecteuler.net/ and am getting started on that!

#5Pick up a copy of Steven Skiena's "The Algorithm Design Manual"
It will take you through the vast majority of data structures and algorithms you might ever need to know - it's recommended reading for CS heavy interviews.

#6"Introduction to Algorithms" by T Cormen ,C Leiserson, R Rivest and C Stein.
This book covers both basic and advance topics in a well written manner. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe this book is used in some MIT courses.

#7Nice that I'm not the only one :)
My preferences are now search engines and graph theory. For the latter one you can even get a bad paid job (pockettaxi.de) but where you can hack on nice algorithms!
Here are some nonefree and free graph theorie books:

I came here to recommend this exact book. Great reference text.
