On April 6 and 7, Google India celebrated the coding community in
Southeast Asia by hosting the second href="http://www.google.com/indiacodejam/" >Code Jam
competition. At nearly 15,000 entrants, this year’s registrations
topped last year’s. The annual software coding fest consists of two
online rounds, in which participants competed to solve three coding
problems more quickly and accurately than their competitors. The
top 50, who came from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and
Singapore (and included one female finalist, by the way), were
invited to compete in the onsite finals. (We made a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6756821813540907008" >video
about the finals.)

year's winner, Ardian Kristanto Poernomo, from Indonesia,
snagged the grand prize once again. Abishek Kumarasubramanian from
Chennai, India was less than 3/100ths of a point behind him.

The two-day event also featured of team building activities and
Google engineering presentations. We’re especially delighted that
over half of the finalists expressed their interest in working for
Google. And if you’re one of those, go href="http://www.google.co.in/intl/en/jobs/index.html" >here.
