If you're reading this post, we know your passion is coding. You thrive when given the opportunity to tackle a challenge, and enjoy the rush of applying your knowledge and creativity to approach a problem. Once solved, there's nothing like the satisfaction that comes from knowing you've accomplished something great.
That's why we are excited to announce Google Code Jam 2010 to the true die-hard coding fans. Google Code Jam, powered by Google App Engine, is our annual programming competition, where thousands of coders around the world attack algorithmic problems in several 2.5-hour online rounds. If you make it through the first four rounds, you'll be flown to our on-site finals, to be held for the first time at the Google office in Dublin! Once there, you will compete with 24 other top coders for the $5,000 first prize -- and the coveted title of Code Jam champion.
We don't want you to miss out on any of the action, so we are announcing some important dates for Google Code Jam 2010. Mark your calendars:

ReplyDeleteIs there no way to stop these spammers ?
ReplyDeleteTypo in the GCJ2010 website:
ReplyDelete"Top *100* finalists will divide over $10,000 in prize money."
Looking forward to this year's contest! :)
@Debasish - We need to form a hit squad to track down and kill spammers. An elite group of former special forces and black ops agents who could even take out top members of the Russian mob. If that existed and spammers were dropping like flies, it would finally put the fear of God into these bottom feeders.
ReplyDeleteOr Google could just implement Akismet (or something similar) on these comments. It would weed out most of the spam.
are there any practice problems in C++ language??
