Programmers, get ready, get set

Posted on 04:31 by Unknown
En Français

If you're a great sprinter, you've probably been in a few races. And if you're a great chess player, you've probably had your share of matches. But what do you do if you're a great programmer?

Well, if you're looking for the rush of competition, the feeling of matching your mind up against the greatest in the world, and the chance to compete for more than U.S.$80,000 in cash prizes, you can't do better than Google Code Jam. The contest gives you two short hours to solve some tricky algorithmic challenges. You'll read a problem, write your code, download our test cases, and tell us what you think the right answers are. If you're right, it's time to move on to another problem -- but if you're wrong, it's time to make a decision. Debug, or look for an easier challenge...?

Here's how it works: You'll need to register by Thursday, July 17, 2008, and compete against global contestants in the online rounds during July and August. If you make it to the top 500, you'll travel to a nearby Google office for our semifinal round. If you're in the top 100, we'll fly you to our Mountain View headquarters to compete with the world's very best. You can learn more details and practice a few problems on our website. We hope to see you at the finals!

Programmeurs, préparez vous, soyez prêts

Si tu es un bon sprinteur, tu as probablement couru plusieurs courses. Si tu es un bon joueur d'échecs, tu as probablement joué dans de nombreuses compétitions. Mais que fais-tu si tu es un bon programmeur?

Si tu cherches l'adrénaline d'une compétition, si tu veux rivaliser avec les meilleurs dans le monde et avoir la chance de concourir pour plus de 80,000 U.S.$ de prix, tu ne peux pas faire mieux que de participer au Google Code Jam. Cette compétition te propose de résoudre en deux petites heures des défis algorithmiques compliqués. Tu devras lire un problème donné, rédiger ton code, télécharger nos études de cas et nous donner ta réponse. Si tu as raison, tu pourras alors poursuivre vers un autre problème. Si tu ne trouves pas la bonne réponse, tu devras prendre une décision: déboguer ou chercher un défi plus simple pour toi...?

Voilà comment cela marche: D'abord, tu devras t'inscrire avant le jeudi 17 juillet 2008. Ensuite, tu concourras contre des candidats partout dans le monde lors de rounds en ligne en juillet et en août. Si tu termines dans les 500 premiers, tu iras dans un des bureaux de Google pour la demi-finale. Si tu en sors dans les 100 premiers, tu pourras t'envoler vers notre siège social à Mountain View en Californie pour concourir contre les meilleurs des meilleurs. Tu peux en savoir plus et t'entraîner sur quelques problèmes sur notre site. Nous espérons te voir en finale!
