Code Jam is an annual programming competition in which professional and student programmers are asked to solve complex algorithmic challenges in a limited amount of time, using the programming language of their choice. This year, Googlers in the Tokyo office came up with a unique set of problems for the participants and prepared a fully internationalized contest UI, all in Japanese.
Google Code Jam Japan, originally scheduled for March 2011, was postponed due to the earthquake in Japan's Tohoku and Kanto regions earlier this year. We are proud to announce that it will begin this week with a preliminary round this Saturday, October 1 promptly at 1:00pm JST. The schedule is as follows:
October 1st 1:00 pm JST* - Qualifying Round (6 hr)
October 8th 1:00 pm JST* - Final Round (3 hr)
*All times are Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).
For more details, check out the Google Japan official Blog post or follow us on Twitter at @GoogleCodeJamJp. 皆さまのご参加お待ちしております！
We are looking forward to an amazing competition in Japan!
