Code Jam’s Sprint to Google I/O

Code Jam, a global programming competition where participants tackle algorithmic problems using any programming language, recently concluded its qualification round with over 36,000 entrants vying for a spot in the finals in New York. Although registration for the 2012 Code Jam is closed, Google offers another opportunity through a Code Jam sprint starting April 19, where the top 100 developers who solve at least one two-part challenge can purchase tickets to the sold-out Google I/O conference. The challenge URL will be available on the Google Developers page, and participants are encouraged to register in advance and use the Code Jam quick-start guide for preparation. Igor Naverniouk, a software engineer primarily focused on analytics for Google Play, contributes to Code Jam during his 20% time, while Scott Knaster serves as the editor of the related post.
