Google Code Jam 2012 registration is open
March 13, 2012
Today, we're opening up registration for
Google Code Jam 2012
. This year thousands of students, professional programmers and freelance code wizards will pit their ingenuity against a new set of algorithmic challenges concocted by our tireless team of red-eyed, LED-illuminated problem writers.
Last year’s champion, Makoto Soejima, was asked to
build a house for kittens
,
serve food to hungry mathematicians
,
escape from a shady casino
and
help Goro control his anger
. Who knows what our problem writers have on their minds this year?
Code Jam is a world-wide programming competition in which contestants may use any programming language to solve algorithmic problems. The qualification round takes place April 13, followed by three online rounds in the following months. At the end of it all, the top 25 contestants will be invited to Google’s New York office on July 27 for a final match up and a chance to win $10,000. If you are up for the challenge,
throw your hat into the ring now
