> Thanks for your time, my god this was longer than expected.

I suppose in the age of twitter that was a bit of a novel. For us old fogies, that's just a bit more than a post card :)

Introduction to Algorithms is the book for learning everything about algorithms. You'll learn all the standards; how to analyze them (space/time efficiency, Big-O, Big-Theta); and how to prove them; etc.

If you want to learn a great low-level language, the typical things to learn are assembly and C, but I would highly suggest learning Forth. There's tons on the web about it, but the seminal book was Starting Forth. You get all of the low-level detail of assembly, a bit of scaffolding, and you learn to build your higher level language structures as you need them. Great fun, and it's turned out to be very useful through the years, even though I never get to use it in production/release.
