We are looking for eight teams of four people to compete for the trophy, which someone will have to prise out of the hands of the rogue, python wielding team's stunning success last year. We already know of a few likely teams out there so there's not much time to let us know about yours.
To register your interest, fill in the application form below.
Tourney Rules
The competition will consist of three rounds:
- A first-past-the-post programming challenge,
- A free-form twenty minute application design/programming challenge, with the winner decided by audience applause, and
- A final first-past-the-post, extra difficult programming challenge.
Note that programming implies at least some typing source code into a text editor which is then interpreted or compiled. Each team must provide it's own laptop with development tools (any technology is allowed) installed and ready. The only requirement is that the laptop display must run at 1024 x 768 in mirrored mode during the competition, and the laptop mush have the outputs and any adapters required to drive a VGA projector.
The final team list will be announced here in early May. Remember that you don't have to be a WebDU attendee to participate or watch the fun...
