0 Comments 18 May 2010

It is exactly 3 days and a couple of hours before the annual Google code jam takes place. This year its going down in Dublin, Ireland .

Earlier, this year in March, Google held a competition for Africa named Code Jam Africa 2010, which the online competition was mostly dominated by South Africa and Egypt. The winner was from South Africa and runner up from Egypt, which show that , although the US may be part of the tech aristocracy, but South Africa belongs to technology’s working class, planting technological seeds with relentless endeavour. Who could argue that the future is not golden?

A little recap on Google Code Jam — it is a programming competition in which student programmers and professionals are asked to solve complex algorithmic problems in a limited amount of time. The competition also lets the contestant compete in the programming language and development environment of their choice.

So, If solving tough problems and grappling with technical challenges is what you enjoy? Then you should , with out a doubt, consider entering Google Code Jam.
