Code, the basic building block for creating computer software, apps and websites, is practically ubiquitous in today's tech-driven world.

Yet the majority of people has little understanding of how it works, much less are able to use it.

With the aim of introducing more Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students to coding the Engineering Society is hosting its first coding competition. The two-week event offers up some prizes as well as bragging rights for the top coder but the real goal is to get more students involved in coding, says Robert Saunders (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�19), Director of Information Technology for the society.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The competition카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not really about the prizes. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s about getting people involved,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says the computer engineering major. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�You never know, one student who doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t know anything about coding can sign up and fall in love with it. For me, the competition is a way to leverage my position to get people involved in coding.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The competition is open to all Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students no matter their skill level and utilizes HackerRank, a website where users can practice on coding problems or set up competitions. Those who sign up to compete will face a series of coding questions that they will have to solve to earn points. The competitor with the most points wins. If there is a tie, the winner will be decided on time.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Technology is so huge now, it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s really important to get involved. Even if you have the most basic skills for coding at least you have some sense of how things work,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Saunders, adding that the site can be used as a learning tool. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�When you are doing a problem (HackerRank) asks you to write your code but what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s different about it is you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re not just submitting the code to the platform for us to review, it also runs test cases through your code. It shows the user the process of a computer kind of feeding input to your program and getting the desired output, which is nice.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Competitors do not have to be on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s campus and can use their own computers. Sign up is free but does require a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s email address.

Following the competition Mr. Saunders has also organized the on Feb. 28 from 6-9 pm. The workshop will focus on project management, team communication, user interface and experience design, version control and issue tracking systems.
