Codingball 2008 – Coding Challenge, the programming competition organized by the student association EESTEC and Troxo is going to take place in our offices on Saturday, May 10th 2008. Twenty-two talented students have been selected to compete in algorithms and Java programming.

Each programmer will be given seven tasks and four hours to solve them. The competitors will upload their code for each task to the centralized, automated Programming Contest Control System which will evaluate the solution and update the scoreboards. The competitor who solves the most of the tasks wins. If two competitors solve the same number of tasks, the faster one wins.

We are looking forward to this event and hope to have a lot of fun and meet interesting people. The three best competitors will receive some very nice prizes that we have prepared, and we are throwing a party for all the competitors and organizers later in the evening. We’ll get back with some pics after the event.
