DevCon Code Challenge Cup (C-Cup)

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Wow! I seem to can't enough of all these coding challenges), DevCon has organized another event for the persistent coders and developers in us.

The Philippines is basking in an Information Technology Renaissance...

We've seen the Startup scene and IT sector hogging the headlines. Now, to support budding technopreneurs and their garage operations in discovering co-founders/new talents -- following the success of Hack2HATCH -- DevCon is hosting a CODE CHALLENGE CUP (C-CUP) on November 30, 2012 in Xavier School (Greenhills).

C-Cup aims to help spur critical thinking and highlight problem solving strategies under pressure. It is patterned after the International Collegiate Programming Contest organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) -- the oldest, largest and most prestigious programming contest in the world. Hardcore IT geeks consider this to be the “Olympics of Computer Programming.”
