Thank you to every person who participated in the Coding Grasp contest - I was shocked by the amount of entries I received; all of you stored me plus the Search staff engineers a lot occupied. I got over 200 requests for coding exercises but just over half of them were never returned. Another 25% of you returned it incomplete or days late. And a few of you were diligent about the timeline and made it all the way to the finals - Congratulations,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro! I am proud to announce the winner of the Master Coder contest - Nguyen Kinh Luan. Kinh Luan got his Bachelors degree from the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in 2004. Currently, he is working for an IS, developing educational software targeted at the Tablet PC platform. He started learning programming & algorithms 9 years ago,
Windows 7 64bit, and then fell in love with .NET in 2002. He passed his MCAD (.NET) in March 2005 and in his free time he attends the Singapore .NET User Group. A big shout out to all of the international candidates who read the post and sent their coding samples back. And an honorable mention to Cornelis (Casey) van Rikxoort,
Windows 7 Code, who sent (several) different revisions and wins the award for passion and diligence. And to all of you who cried and pleaded for a C# coding contest inside the future - I don’t have one planned yet, but do know I am thinking about you. Kinh Luan got us thinking - why don’t we go to Singapore? I met with my international recruiting group yesterday to talk about early discussions,
Office 2007 Pro Plus Key, and while nothing is yet finalized,
Windows 7 Professional Key, you can say you heard it here first … - Jenna
