iCode 2010 - A Programming Contest
Submitted by NUS Student Chapt... on Tue, 20/04/2010 - 23:30A few of us here at the chapter had wanted to organize a programming contest in NUS for quite some time. Not only are competitions a lot of fun but there is also a lot of learning involved in the process and that is why we really pushed for it this semester and finally went about organizing it.
iCode was a purely online programming contest except for the finals that was held in one of the programming labs. The competition which was spread over four weeks from March 16 to April 12 wouldn't have been possible without the support and guidance of Steven Halim from the Faculty of Computing and his competitive programming team. All the problems for the weekly contests and the finals were set by them.
We were thoroughly overwhelmed by the initial response to the contest. Although we sent the publicity mail only to students from the School of Computing, we had nearly a hundred signups by the end of the day. We were tempted to keep the registrations open and bring in more folks to participate but we had to close it in the end as we were keen on keeping the number in check.
Microsoft Silverlight Workshop
Submitted by NUS Student Chapt... on Wed, 10/02/2010 - 08:00
We were able to organize this event on February 8th with the help and support of Microsoft Singapore. Apurva Lawale from Microsoft came over and conducted the two-hour long workshop for around twenty five students in the programming lab, COM1/B12 at the School of Computing.
Silverlight is a browser plugin that provides a developer with the tools to create powerful web applications easily. It is comparable, in principle, to Adobe's Flash and is simpler to use.
The workshop was focussed on helping students integrate Silverlight with their .NET applications, and was found helpful mainly by participants who have also taken the software engineering courses, CS3215 and CS2103 this semester.
The student chapter will be bringing similar developer events to NUS in the future, in partnership with Microsoft, to help students who are considering participating in the Imagine Cup in the best way possible.
