Google Sponsors Code Jam in China

The Google China Code Jam is an offshoot of the company’s annual Google Code Jam competition. The final event of the 2005 competition, held in September, was won by Marek Cygan, a university student from Poland, who won $10,000 in cash. Two other university students, Erik-Jan Krijgsman of the Netherlands and Petr Mitrichev of Russia, each won $5,000 in cash for finishing second and third, respectively.

Respectively, Google is making a good move with this only because they can easily attract a lot of talent and for a low price. $30,000 is a drop in the bucket for them while they can easily bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of code in and talent. I expect that they will be hiring the top finalists and possibly the runner-ups in the contest as full time employees. Google is trying to gather a lot of the world’s best talent, including management from Microsoft. Google is moving at a very fast past with their experienced and amateur programmers. The company has a bright future, I surely hope that it isn’t a short future.
