So many postings on this group. Nobody thought a post on info about
Google Code Jam was relevant to Software Development Unit members??
Well, though I guess many would already be knowing about it. But
still, for those who are still unaware -

Google is organizing an OPC - Online Programming Contest, GCJ - Google
Code Jam

Refer to http://code.google.com/codejam

Least of all, we the members of SDU are expected to participate in a
Programming Contest, isnt it?
Besides, there's lot to gain. To name a few -
1. Experience & Improvement in Coding
2. Improvement in Analytical Skills
3. Chance to work at Google, if you perform remarkeably well in the
contest.

Well, there are monetory benefits also. But I thought its mention
would be irrelevant. (Thats only for the Top 100 out of Lacs of
participants :-P )

So, everyone is expected to register for GCJ. Qualification Round
starts at 4:30 am IST, July 17th, 2008.
And ofcourse,
All the Best!

And I read almost all posts today. Came across some rule of 'no-top-
posting'.. :-P
Anyway..
@Shrink
I was too busy with other things that I couldn't keep track of things
going on here.
Will try to be more regular now on. :-P

Actually it would be great if people did bottom post, but i assumed it would be too much effort to explain to people what top posting is. If possible, you really should bottom post coz it makes much more sense to reply to parts of messages than an entire message that may contain many questions/issues.
