Hello everyone,
Based on email responses, the meeting time for SIG Compete will be on Mondays at 5:30 - 6:30 PM. We will be meeting at SELE 2254 ( The Linux Lab ). No computer is required as we will be in a computer lab, but bring your own if you want.
Our first meeting will be next Monday, Sept 18, at 5:30 PM.
*** For anyone who is interested, we will be going through Cracking the Coding Interview, by Gayle Laakmann McDowell, as it has a lot of great material for questions that would appear in competitions.
*** READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
*** YES, READING INSTRUCTIONS IS PART OF THE CHALLENGE
