This summer, Bloomberg is hosting a weekly coding competition in partnership with the Standard C++ Foundation<\/a> and CppCon<\/a>, the flagship C++ conference. Part of Bloomberg\u2019s overall CodeCon program<\/a>, this contest will award seven problem solvers with a trip to Bellevue, Washington to attend CppCon in September 2015. The competition will be opened only to students currently enrolled in a university or college.<\/strong> Bloomberg CodeCon<\/a> is a browser-based eLearning platform used by universities in their curricula<\/a>, and powers coding challenges for college students in the US<\/a> and Europe.<\/p>\n

The series of seven weekly challenges will kick off on June 22, 2015, and each week contestants will be provided a different set of problems to solve via Bloomberg\u2019s cloud-based CodeCon platform. Each week\u2019s winner will earn a trip to CppCon in September. The list of seven winners will be announced and notified via email on August 5.<\/p>\n

Additional coding contests will take place at the CppCon event in September for those who attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to expand the types of competitions we can create and the opportunities CodeCon can provide to contestants,\u201d said Rangan Prabhakaran, Bloomberg R&D developer and creator of CodeCon. \u201cFocusing the competition to C++ and partnering with an industry leading conference like CppCon allows us to open greater opportunities for the programmer community at all skill levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keep an eye out for further contest details by following us on Twitter @TechAtBloomberg where we will be announcing the beginning of challenges – and make sure you are checking out the Bloomberg CodeCon site: https:\/\/codecon.bloomberg.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
