Google Code Jam is a programming competition in which professional and student programmers are asked to solve increasingly complex algorithmic challenges in a limited amount of time.

The contest is all-inclusive: Google Code Jam lets you compete in the programming language and development environment of your choice. The competition consists of four online rounds, starting on May 6th and culminating in the world finals at Google's office in Tokyo, Japan.
