And the challenge is on! I’ve joined the Brisbane team to hopefully teach the NZenders, NSWelshmen and the rest of the nation that QLD can code. It is the same night as state of origin so that will add a bit of extra competition to the night.
Each team is allowed one computer. The match starts with the two teams surrendering their computer to the organisers. The organisers then tell the teams what their task will be. The tasks are designed to be technology neutral (you could use ColdFusion, Flex, AIR, Director, Ruby, .NET or whatever) and take around 15-20 minutes to complete. Tasks could include: ” Building a UI for a particular purpose in a fixed time, with the winner decided by audience applause, or ” Implementing a simple algorithm (number conversion, sorting, filtering and such) with the first to demonstrate a working version winning. The task instructions will be written out, and any special conditions for winning will be detailed in the instructions. The teams have ten minutes to plan their approaches. No computers, phones etc may be used at this point pencil and paper is acceptable.Search
