[ANN] 3rd Globals Programming Challenge - USD $3,500 Grand Prize...

[Michael Pantaleo]

Want to show how good you are at coding "Big Data" solutions?

InterSystems Corp. is hosting a series of programming challenges in
the Globals Community.

Our 3rd Globals Challenge kicks off with a seven day competition on
Friday, February 10, 2012 @ 18:00 EST with the following offerings:

- A cash prize of USD $3,500 for the winning entry
- A press release announcing the winning participant and solution
- A chance to win a free registration for the InterSystems Global
Summit

The challenge specifications will be revealed at the start of the
competition. You will have 7 days (168 hours) to create the best
solution-application for a chance at winning the prize offerings. You
can use any of the supported interfaces to the Globals database to
create your application: Java, Node.js & .Net (coming soon)

The details of the challenge can be found at the Globals Community
website:

http://GlobalsDB.org/mchallenges/

Follow the challenge countdown, and come back to the Globals website
at the start of the competition to get the specifications, and start
coding.

If you are new to Globals, you can obtain the software (it's free),
and learn more about it, at the Globals Community Website:

Good luck and have some fun.

GlobalsDB looks nice, but it seems it is not yet ready for use with
Windows+NodeJS. I miss the cache.node file for that, as well as examples
for use with nodejs in the package.

The Windows+Node.JS implementation for Globals is complete, and I've
been testing it for the last few weeks - it's working amazingly btw.
I should be releasing it within the next few weeks, hopefully before
the Globals Challenge, so keep checking back :) I'm also hoping that
they release a x64 Node version for Windows soon, as I'd like add
support for it into Globals before I release the new version.
