ICPC 2017 Programming Contest

The ACM ICPC is considered as the "Olympics of Programming Competitions". It is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious programming contest in the world.

On September 23th, the CCOM department will organize the local contest to qualify UPR Río Piedras teams for the national, regionals and world finals. If you know C, or C++, or Java, or Python, you can participate. Training for the contest is a fun way to improve your programming and problem solving skills, or to perfect them if you are already a black belt coder.

Training:

Each Friday, 10-12am, Lab A-143, Computer Science Department, UPR Río Piedras.
