2. Catalysts' Coding Contest

Location: Linz, Austria, From May-30-2008 To May-30-2008

Who is faster? Who is more efficient? Who is more effective? Who is more productive? Does “Pair Programming” really make you faster? Does “Test-Driven Development” really lead to fewer bugs? How many ways are there to solve a problem? Is it right that good developers only write 30 lines of code for which mediocre developers need to write 300 lines?

Catalysts organizes a coding contest to go further into some of these questions.

Even if we think that the learning aspect is more important, there will – of course – be prizes (400 EUR for the winner, 200 for the second, 100 for the third).

Location: Johannes Kepler University Linz, lecture hall 10 Date: Friday, 30th of May, 2008

The research questions quoted above will be the subject of a masters thesis supervised by Prof. Paul Grünbacher.
