BEST DEVELOPER IN VIETNAM 2019
The race for the best programmers has officially kicked off. This is a playground where young people who are passionate about technology have the opportunity to compete, create a comprehensive generation of programming engineers, master the expertise and common skills to serve globally projects.
DOES PROGRAMMER JUST KNOW CODING?
According to the research by Wesner Moise (2016), the number of technology engineers focusing only on certain programming techniques without the background knowledge and other necessary skills is increasing. Currently, there are many programmers thinking that a "true coder" just good at building software is enough. This situation is a major concern in the IT industry in Vietnam, and one of the causes leading to the failure of many domestic as well as international technology projects.
Therefore, Best Developer in Vietnam 2019 - the competition to find the best programmers - was organized by PYCOGroup, Department of Science & Technology Ho Chi Minh City and partners with the desire to search and build more comprehensive team of programmers. Officially starting from October 1, 2019, candidates will have the opportunity to challenge on programming problems combining necessary skills at work, thereby offering the best solution to convince the professional council.
In addition to the total prize of 250,000,000 VND with the first prize of up to 130,000,000 VND in cash, the competition is expected to be the most awaiting programming arena of the year because of an attractive and novel "format". Different from the usual contests, Best Developer in Vietnam 2019 requires players to prove their ability through 5 challenging rounds:
Contestants step by step solve the programming problems raised by the Organizing Committee with increasing difficulty to get the highest score. The results will be automatically evaluated based on various aspects of programming such as data structure, time efficiency, memory efficiency. Persistence is also the basic requirement that every company now requires in programmers.
Players will continue to Round 2 to answer 30 questions related to the software development process - to be scored based on the number of correct answers in the shortest possible time.
Top 20 candidates with the highest scores after 2 rounds will continue to compete in the third round of the competition.
Maintaining the focus to make the right decision under the pressure of time is one of the factors that makes a comprehensive programmer.
20 contestants will be divided into 10 pairs to find solutions for challenges of software design and architecture. The teams will present and review the solution to the evaluation of the professional council. The 10 winners will be selected based on the optimum of the solution as well as the skills of present and team work of the teams.
10 players will solve programming problems that require an API application. The solutions are automatically evaluated based on the completion time and optimization according to current trends. In particular, this round is predicted to be a "heated battle" when only the three best programmers enter the final round.
The final challenge to find the winner was modeled on the show “Ơn giời, cậu đây rồi", 3 contestants were put into an unexpected situation related to the job. As the name of the round, players need to be confident and alert to analyze situations and flexibly adapt, fully utilize communication skills, problem solving, teamwork, time management… The highest prize worth 130,000,000 and the title of the best programmer will belong to the person who conquered the jury in this challenge.
