Hello, We are delighted to inform you that CodeFest, the annual International online coding festival of Computer Engineering Society, IT-BHU, has been unveiled. CodeFest is a unique fest wherein concepts of mathematics, logic, artificial intelligence, algorithms, language syntax, etc. are required to be deployed in programming; these concepts manifest themselves in solving problems effectively and efficiently! CodeFest was started last year. CodeFest'10 was a phenomenal success with participation from all over the globe. CodeFest'11 is geared up with some new and pepped up events, while maintaining the integrity of its standards. Here is a brief description of the constituent online events: * Mathmania: A mathematical puzzle contest that puts mathematical and computational skills to test. * Manthan: An algorithm intensive programming contest that would require coders to tailor existing standard algorithms to solve real life computation problems. * Virtual Combat: An educational game wherein teams of programmed robotic tanks will fight the battles for glory. Codes Do Fight!. * Perplexed: A programming contest, aimed to test the knowledge of C, wherein codes will be rewarded against syntactic constraints. * Ratespiel: A technical quiz covering different areas of Computer Science. This year CodeFest, Technex'11, brings onsite events: * Eniac: An open software exhibition where you get an opportunity to demonstrate your software from any domain. * Code Warrior: A multiple round contest to award the title of 'ultimate computer geek'. Visit our website: itbhu.ac.in/codefest to get more details. Few exciting statistics about CodeFest'10: * 2354 registrations (including 128 professionals) from 680 different institutions, across 59 countries. * Some participants were among the winners of Google Code Jam, Top Coder SRMs and ACM ICPC. * Total prize money was a whopping amount of 260,000 INR! * CodeFest '10 was the largest online coding festival of the Indian subcontinent in 2010 in terms of prize money! * CodeFest'10 was the second largest online coding festival of the Indian subcontinent in 2010, next to Bitwise. * Gained recognition from several international organizations including Codechef, Adobe, British Telecom, TCS and IEEE. The CodeFest'11 team has set out to unleash a coding extravaganza. You can't afford to miss the chance to be a part of this fest! Still have any questions?
