What took 6 weeks, required sizzling brainpower, and drew a global audience of programmers? The fourth Google CodeJam, that’s what. More than 21,000 coders from 100 countries registered in early September and have competed two rounds (they could code in Java, C++, C#, Python or VB.NET). Today was the grand finale, which just ended at our New York City office. The 100 finalists convened in New York to play this last round together. Screens glowed, fingers flew, and gears spun. Our top three winners are:
Petr Mitrichev, Russia - $10,000
Ying Wang, China - $,5000
Andrey Stankevich, Russia - $5,000Additional cash prizes went to all the finalists, who represent 24 different countries. (Here’s the full release.) This is the fourth annual Global Code Jam, which we produce in conjunction with TopCoder. Our best wishes, congratulations and thanks to everyone who celebrates the joys of coding.
Update: Ying Wang is studying in the U.S., but comes from China.
