নতুনদের জন্য টপকোডার

আমার আমি :::‌‍ প্রোগ্রামিং ::: পড়াশুনা

এটা হল মীর ওয়াসি আহমেদের লেখা একটা ইমেইল ।

হয়তো তুমি যখন এটা পড়বে তখন আর হয়তো বাংলাদেশীরা রাত এগারটায় জড়ো হয় না টপকোডারে প্র্যকটিস করতে, কিন্তু এতে সব কিছুই বলা আছে টপকোডার শুরু করা নিয়ে। আমার মনে হয়, এটা একটা চমৎকার লেখা ।

বুয়েট কন্টেস্ট গ্রুপ - ডিসেম্বর ৪ - ২০০৮

Fellow contestants,

I feel very excited to inform you, that some of us have already started doing Topcoder practice rooms together. Here, we write codes for 1h 15mins (or less) followed by a challenge phase (like real SRMs). This will give you to write bug free codes very fast and learn new algorithm/tricks. Many average coders turned themseves into exceptional ones by training themself in this wonderful site. We (in no particular order - Sohel Hafiz bhai, Arifuzzaman bhai, Tanaeem bhai, Mashuq bhai, Anindya bhai, Sunny) have already took part in some Practice SRMs. We compete every night at 11pm BDT. I invite all the new and veteran coders of BUET to take part in these practice SRMs.

Regards,

Mir Wasi Ahmed

To compete in practice SRM:

If you are new to Topcoder (TC):

1. Read Point #1, #2, #3(3.1, 3.2 in particular), #4 in this page.

2. Register

2. Download Java + Topcoder Arena as said in that page.

3. Login :)

Tutorials from TC and Stefan Pochmann will give you the guidance to the Topcoder format.

Note: Topcoder format might seem a bit strange to you at first but it's fun if you spend some time to get used to.

TC plugins:

Plugin will enhance the performance greatly in TC. A friend of me has written a nice tutorial in bengali. Using plugins you will be able to write codes using your favourite editor like MSVC++ or Dev-Cpp and test very easily and fast.

To compete in practice SRMs:

1. Login

2. 5/10 mins before 11 pm, Click Active users menu under the Main Menu.
