Doesn't look like Rails is a supported platform though, unlike last
year. Still a good experience nonetheless - Aizat, Kegan and myself
had a good time at last year's event.

I encourage everyone to participate!

---------------------------

Dear all,

code::XtremeApps:: is back! This year, the 24-hour round-the-clock
programming competition aimed at fostering Singapore's computer
programming environment, is slated to bring more excitement and fun to
students and IT industry professionals. code::XtremeApps::2008 Open
Category invites participants from secondary schools, junior colleges,
polytechnics, universities, technology institutes, tertiary
institutions, and companies to an exhilarating 24-hour competition to
build cool applications and applets that are both useful and fun. This
year’s competition is held in partnership with the National Infocomm
Competition (NIC), an annual inter-school competition spearheaded by
the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (iDA). We have
participated in the Polytechnic/ITE circuit of NIC, and participants
in this category will be able to accumulate their points for the NIC
and stand to win more prizes.

And new to this year code::XtremeApps:: is the Junior Category
competition inviting students 12 years old and under to experience
this fun-filled affair, minus the 24-hour session. The newly added
category is to further promote programming education and its essential
aspect of using information technology creatively to enhance everyday
life - at work or at play.

Join us at the launch and find out more about the format of the
competition, the programming tools and the training schedules to
prepare you for the competition. Sign up now! Registration is on a
first-come-first-serve basis.
