Google Sponsors Code-Jam Competition
In a bid to find new employees, Google is sponsoring a programming contest worth up to $10,000 and a possible career at the search company. The rules? The contest is basically a timed, Internet-based test of programming skills. After two rounds, 25 finalists will get flown out to Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, to compete for a total of $25,000 in cash prizes. The finalists will also be evaluated as potential employees.
Registration for the contest began October 1st, but there's still a chance to get in on the action. The final round starts November 14th. So -- serious programmers, full speed ahead!
