Introduction to CodeChef
CodeChef.com is India’s first, non-commercial, multi-platform online programming competition. CodeChef features monthly contests, practice problems and discussion boards, all geared towards helping students and professionals improve their software development skills. Our judging system accepts solutions in over 35 different programming languages (like Haskell, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, C, C++, C#, Java, Pascal… ) allowing users to test their skills against their peers as well as experiment with new technologies.
About CodeChef
CodeChef was created by Directi as a way to continuously challenge and engage the developer community. The site’s goals are to provide a platform for practice, competition and improvement, as well as enable developers to benchmark their skills against their peers. The first online contest begins March 1st through March 15th, and prizes include an Asus Eee PC, a Nokia 5800 and an iPod Touch.
The CodeChef Community
Despite launching only a month ago, CodeChef has over 1200 registered users, who submit hundreds of solutions each day. We’re able to stay connected with the developer community through our Blog, Forums, Twitter and our newly created Facebook Group. We have also announced a set of unique initiatives: CodeChef Campus Chapters and the User group outreach program. We have some exciting new features in the works including a comprehensive ranking system and Facebook Connect integration.
