After 20 years, Google’s Coding Competitions come to an in depth with a closing spherical.
Keep in mind 2003? Earlier than Chrome, Google Calendar, Android, and YouTube? Once we rigorously cleaned up our saved emails as a result of GMail and its gigabyte of storage hadn’t arrived? Twenty years in the past – Google launched a worldwide coding competitors known as Code Jam, which challenged programmers of all ranges to check and hone their expertise by racing to unravel algorithmic issues.
From there, our coding competitors lineup continued to develop. Kick Begin started as a contest for current graduates in China and rapidly unfold around the globe. Hash Code, Google’s first team-based problem, began in Europe. And a first-in-class Distributed Code Jam requested individuals to construct options that would scale when run on a number of machines.
All through our coding competitions’ 20-year historical past, you’ve got generated billions of strains of code throughout tens of millions of submissions. You have gone by tons of of rounds for hundreds of issues and put in tens of millions of hours of code execution and testing. Over one million of you from virtually each nation worldwide have participated — from skilled programmers to college students and everybody in between. And now, simply as we invited you to our very first spherical in 2003, we’re asking you to hitch us for one closing occasion because the competitions come to an finish.
Be part of us on Saturday, April 15, 2023 at 2 p.m. UTC as we host 4 simultaneous on-line rounds of competitors at various ranges of issue. Register now to get in on the motion.
And to those that’ve taken half through the years: It has been an honor to study, succeed, fail, and have enjoyable coding with you. By the conceptual artwork, the slides, the gophers, and the absurd quantity of pancakes, we did it – and we did it collectively. Thanks for occurring this journey with us.
