It’s in the news! (but not in Slashdot or Barrapunto, how strange!) Google is going to launch the CodeJam competition in Europe too!
Read more about European CodeJam 2006 here!
I think everybody should give this a try and here are my reasons why:
- First, it is a cool event, and you get to meet and compete with some interesting people all around Europe
- Second, it might give you extra reasons for sharpening your coding skills, review those data structures basics or algorithms or get that extra notch of excellence in your language of choice (Java, C++ or C#)
- Third, prizes are good, and finalists will get the opportunity to travel to Google Dublin for the finals
- And last but not least: I’m going to be in Dublin interviewing the finalists, so apart from a good prize, you might end up with a job offer from Google! };P
Registration is already opened, so start warming up in the TopCoder arena and… good luck!
A great opportunity
Saludos!
Pedro Laguna and me are registered. We also were in the last one, in august. It was good… but we didn’t passed the first level. xD
I just want a google t-shirt… it’d be enough… ^^’
hey stalker! Sorry to hear you weren’t lucky }:/
has anybody else tried the first round?
P.S. I’ll see what I can do about getting google swag to those nice people who give it a try! };P
