Hello, let me describe my story, upto APRIL14 I am able to do only 2 questions in long contest, So what I have done is(From May14 to July 14) I have practised questions that require algorithmic knowledge(like Greedy,DP,Maths,…) So slowly I have got experience in solving problems(experience in the sense “ability to think”).And now I am able to solve upto 6 problems in long contest(Of course I need to practise more to do better).So my advice is that Just practise practise practise.And I guess 2 years is more than enough to become good coder(of course you need to practise regularly, and participate in online programming contests).Now comming to practise : I suggest you to start solving easy problems, after you are comforatable with those, shift to problems which require algorithmic knowledge, and much deeper thinking.The below links may help you :
