Hej Folkens Vi regner med at holde kvalifikation til NWERC 2008 (som er I Holland igen i år), fredag den 29 hen på eftermiddagen/aften så hold denne dag åben. Vi arbejder på at få et lokale, så det er ikke 100% sikkert endnu - dette er bare en servicemeddelelse. Skriv til mig eller Mark hvis der er nogle spørgsmål, vi kommer forhåbentlig med en rigtig announcement snarest og håber på at en masse møder op (programmering er jo sjovt! ;) ) Thomas og Mark

Google Code Jam 2008 + Waterloo Spring Programming Contest 2008
by Mark Greve 19 Jun '08

Hi everyone If you have some spare time in your summer vacation, you might want to have a look at Google Code Jam 2008. I think it sounds really cool. Here is a brief description from their website http://code.google.com/codejam/ About Code Jam. Do you enjoy solving tough problems and grappling with technical challenges? Then enter Google Code Jam! Google Code Jam is a coding competition in which professional and student programmers are asked to solve complex algorithmic challenges in a limited amount of time. The contest is all-inclusive: Google Code Jam lets you program in the coding language and development environment of your choice. Google Code Jam begins in July and continues in August, when you will compete in online rounds against contestants from around the world. The Top 500 participants will advance to onsite competitions at a local Google office to compete against those in their region (Asia Pacific; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and the Americas). The Top 100 will participate in the final round at the Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California on Friday, November 14. Don't be left out! Make sure to register between June 17 and July 17, and show your coding creativity in Google Code Jam. Also there will be some other programming contests in the near future. The first is this Saturday: Waterloo Local Spring Contest 2008, June 21 from 11.00-14.00 on the UVA online judge, http://icpcres.ecs.baylor.edu/onlinejudge/ We have previously used problems from older Waterloo programming contest for the local contest at DAIMI. The contest lasts 3 hours and usually consists of some nice problems (although some of them can be quite hard). Last but not least here is a link to a manually updated programming contest calendar: http://www.algorithmist.com/index.php/Programming_Contest_Calendar Regards, Mark

Training sessions on Mondays 9-12 and Thursdays 13-16 in Stibitz-123

Hi everyone We are now organizing regular training sessions, where we will work on our problem solving and coding skills while having a lot of fun :) : Mondays 9-12 (April 28, May 5, May 19, May 26, June 2) in Stibitz-123 Thursdays 13-16 (May 8, May 15, May 22, May 29) in Stibitz-123 Everyone is welcome, and the intention is that we should all learn something from these sessions. So if you're not very experienced with these kind of problems, we will of course help you get started solving problems and also help if you get stuck. We haven't decided on the format exactly, but we will most likely be practicing old TopCoder SRMs or solving ACM/ICPC problems. Perhaps we will pick one topic for a given session, choose some problems and concentrate on this. For instance we could choose to focus on dynamic programming for one session, and in advance select some good problems from this category. Maybe we will also use some time at the end of each session for presenting solutions to the problems assuming people are interested in this. Hoping to see a lot of you guys. Regards, Mark
