I was unsure on how to answer this question since most of my experience is in application development.

I'd like to not be embarrassed when asked this question. What advice would you give someone wanting to learn enough to answer this question?

Are there any projects, books or other resources one could undertake?

Jon Bentley's "Programming pearls", definitely. This problem is somewhat comparable to the first "pearl" from this book. Anyway one of the best ever programming books :)
