This Year's BME 24-hour Programming Contest again sponsored by Nav N Go
Nav N Go was a diamond grade sponsor of the BME International 24-hour Programming Contest for young and talented programmers, which ended on 4th May. On behalf of the company, Zoltán Mohos (aka Moha bá’), GPS expert and the Hungarian voice of iGO My way, presented GPS navigation devices worth almost 1 million Hungarian Forints (4000 Euros) to the team members of the most talented groups. This was the 8th time that the BME (Budapest University of Technology and Economics) had organized the BME International 24-hour Programming Contest, which proved just as popular as in previous years. The event was truly international, with participating programmers coming from countries as far apart as Poland, the United States and Vietnam.
The teams, each consisting of three young programmers, were given the assignment on the morning of Saturday, 3rd May; and they had exactly one day to complete it. There were a total of 30 teams trying to complete the assignment; and they were programming for 24 hours without interruption and without any sleep! In the end, based on the final scores, the Polish teamed proved to be the best, with second and third places going to teams from Sweden. The Hungarian teams also achieved excellent results, finishing in fourth and fifth place.
By the time of the announcement of the final results on 4th May, the BME auditorium was packed with sleepy competitors. As a diamond grade sponsor of the event, Nav N Go had offered the first three teams a total of 9 navigation devices running on iGO My way GPS navigation software. The gifts were presented by Moha bá’, GPS expert and the Hungarian male voice of iGO My way.
“It is crucial for Nav N Go to find the next generation of talented programmers, since reliable IT experts form one of the main pillars of our company,” said Moha bá’ on behalf of Nav N Go. “Our latest development, 3D navigation software, may be a real and exciting challenge for the programmers. We hope that the devices will bring this area of development closer to the young technical experts.”
