For those who attended the session in ES1 today, please sign up for an account on http://train.usaco.org/ and try to solve the first three problems before next Saturday. The tentative plan for next Saturday is to go through some important data structures. – Melvin
About the workshop
| Do you want to improve your programming/problem solving ability? Have you heard of TopCoder or Google Code Jam? |
|---|
These are high profile online competitive programming competitions that award cash prizes and serve as a recruitment platform for top technology companies. A similar competition, the ACM ICPC is targeted at university students. A common thread among these competitions is the focus on solving algorithmic problems by writing computer programs in C/C++/Java.
In December 2007, the School of Computing organized our first ACM ICPC regional competition. As part of our talent development program, each year we organize an ICPC workshop during the vacation to introduce students to the type of problems used in the above mentioned competitions as well as various algorithmic techniques and problem solving strategies to tackle these problems. This workshop is free, all are welcome to attend. We assume you have completed a course in basic data structures and algorithms (CS1102 or CS1102C). Read what some of our past participants have to say about this workshop and the ICPC in their Testimonials.
