Google Code Jam -2009

Hi Guys,

Please read the below message from google.

We're excited to announce Google Code Jam 2009, this year's iteration
of Google's annual programming competition, which offers coders from
around the world an opportunity to solve complex algorithmic problems
under time pressure, using the programming languages and tools of
their choice.

The contest will have a new format this year, starting with online
rounds and ending in a 25-person final in our Mountain View,
California headquarters. We're still choosing exact times for
everything, but for planning purposes we wanted to give you this
tentative schedule. Please note that the timing may change:

Early-Mid August: Registration will open.
+4 Weeks: Qualification round
+1 Week: Rounds 1A, 1B, 1C
+1 Week: Round 2
+1 Week: Round 3
November: World Finals in Mountain View

Online rounds begin soon, so start practicing!
