Q: 

How to improve number theory related skills ?

I know it is a very general question, but i'm not sure how to get started and improve number theory related skills.Any good way and good book recommendations for starters and intermediates (specially related to ACM ICPC and for other programming competitions)

+2  A: 

You could read Concrete Mathematics. It has a section on number theory and is oriented toward computation.
