Can you programme? The ACM ICPC Contest is soon!

The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is a programming competition for students in higher education that involves solving a number of interesting problems (roughly 10) within 5 hours using C/C++ and/or Java.

To enter, you must form a team of 3 people, and find a coach. If you ask around your computer engineering or IT school/faculty chances are there’ll be someone organising teams already. If not, ask them to be your team coach and to register you for the regional contest.

See the ACM ICPC South Pacific region site for more details!

For Sydney University, send an email to Taso Viglas or Judy Kay. UNSW: Hossam El Gindy.

Be quick, because the contest is happening this coming Saturday, 12 Sep 09.

Those who make the finals this year will be going to Harbin, China – home to the Ice Festival.
