Students sought for Java competition
October 03, 2008
IT students are being invited to create a new mobile Java application, in a competition being run by Ricoh and Sun Microsystems Europe. The prize is a little, er, unexpected though: a trip to San Francisco to attend Sun’s JavaOne 2009 user conference.
Other prizes up for grabs include a “sought-after” Sun SPOT – said to be, “an experimental platform to inspire developers to build the next great toy, sensor, communication device etc.”..[click continue reading for more details and how to enter]...
The competition calls on young developers from universities across Europe to design applications for use within Ricoh’s multifunction devices (MFD) products based on Java and the Ricoh SDK/J/J (software developer kit) technologies.
Entrants will showcase their programming skills to an international audience of fellow students, universities and global IT companies that sit on the judging panel, “raising their personal profile to the very companies that are on the hunt for new IT talent.”
Students from France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom are able to enter this year’s Ricoh/Sun Java competition.
More details on how to enter here. Why is this entry in the open source blog? Because Java is now fully open source, dontyaknow.
