It has already became a tradition of R&D department of eGenting to organise this event every year. I still can remember the feeling when I took part in the eGenting Programming Competition 2004. I felt very nervous, especially when you see hundreds of contestants coming from every part of Malaysia to be at this competition. I must say the questions are really challenging, not those that you can find in universities. It is really a good place to really know your real ability in programming.
If you think you are good in programming, why don't you prove whether you are right? This is a good chance to really test yourself. Highly recommended to fresh graduates! It is also a good place to get a well-paid job (as our economy is heading downwards at this moment)!
Details of the event
- Competition date: 15 November 2008
- Time: 10.00 am to 6.00 pm
- Venue: Auditorium, 25th Floor Wisma Genting, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur.
- Nature: Open-book handwritten programming task
Few changes to the event this year:
- The venue is no longer at Genting Highlands (which is sad). You no longer get free ride to Genting Highlands.
- This year they have abolished the professional category. Everyone can join the same category.
The registration will close end of this month. You still have 7 days to go. Register quickly. Don't miss this golden opportunity!

Like previous year, I went to the yearly eGenting Programming Competition to help around. Compared to previous years we can see that more people are participating in the competition, although the number of participants in new professional category is quite low.
Anyway, whether you have participated, or interested to participate next year, it would be nice to take a look at the sample answer for this year's competition: eGenting Programming Competition 2006 - Answer
Update: For your information, the winners of the competition will be announced at a prize presentation ceremony on 3 February 2007 in Genting Highlands Resort.
