TopCoder Details
The TopCoder College Tour was so much fun last year,
they're coming back again! Don't miss out on this awesome opportunity to compete
against your fellow CSCI students in something you practice all the time anyway,
coding.
TopCoder is the main arena for online programming competitions. They hold weekly
competitions in which competitors from around the globe participate. Also, twice
a year they hold tournaments where finalists get to compete on site in an exciting
location (Disney World & Las Vegas this year).
TopCoder is a great way to get your foot in the door at many of the companies that
sponsor competitions, including the NSA, AOL, UBS, and Bloomberg
TopCoder is more than just algorithm competitions, they also have competitions in
program design and development, as well as marathon matches where coders have two weeks
to solve a given problem and compete for the best implementation of the solution.
