Google Code Jam 2009

O suspense está no fim: a página do Google Code Jam foi atualizada! As datas ainda não estão definidas, mas a inscrição deve começar em meados de agosto e a rodada de qualificação será quatro semanas depois.

Aparentemente vão cortar alguns custos, este ano a final nos EUA terá somente 25 pessoas.

Atualização: e-mail recebido do Google Groups "Google Code Jam Announcements":

Code Jam is back!

We're excited to announce Google Code Jam 2009, this year's iteration of
Google's annual programming competition, which offers coders from around the
world an opportunity to solve complex algorithmic problems under time
pressure, using the programming languages and tools of their choice.
The contest will have a new format this year, starting with online rounds
and ending in a 25-person final in our Mountain View, California
headquarters. We're still choosing exact times for everything, but for
planning purposes we wanted to give you this tentative schedule. Please note
that the timing may change:

Early-Mid August: Registration will open.
+4 Weeks: Qualification round
+1 Week: Rounds 1A, 1B, 1C
+1 Week: Round 2
+1 Week: Round 3
November: World Finals in Mountain View

Online rounds begin soon, so start practicing!
