TopCoder
Checked out TopCoder this week and tried a practise competition. Pretty cool stuff. You chose one of three languages: C++, Java or C# and write methods to solve a problem. You get points for how well you write and apparently you can get points for tearing up other people's solutions (while in competition). The next competition is next Monday.

I actually joined a few weeks ago...problem was that I hadn't programmed in while...could barely get through the 250 point problem..SAD!! So I started practicing and I pretty soon I'll be able to do some damage :-) » Posted by: roy at October 18, 2002 05:38 PMSweet. Maybe there is some way for us to practise against each other(?) » Posted by: ryan at October 18, 2002 05:46 PMSound good. I'm currently brushing up on Classes and all the string library functions. Manupilating strings could be a long waste of time unless you know some tricks to do it in a couple of line with some handy functions... I'm coding right now on Linux, I'll email you a problem I did, along with a solution... Reading and Writing is key! roy » Posted by: roy at October 19, 2002 08:54 PM |
