HP announced the results of HP CodeWars 2014, an HP-hosted computer science software competition that was held for the first time in India.
The event drew participation from more than 280 senior high school students from more than 55 institutions across Bengaluru and posed a wide range of programming challenges to teams of amateur developers. India is the second market outside the US where CodeWars has been conducted.
“To remain competitive and to continue growth globally in the IT Industry, India will need a workforce that is accomplished in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines,” said Antonio Neri, senior vice president and general manager, HP Enterprise Group. “HP Code Wars supports our goal of developing tomorrow’s engineers and innovators and contributes to our vision to support technology careers in India.”
HP Code Wars events that took place at HP campuses combined the high-tech HP environment with programming challenges that tested participants’ development software knowledge and skills.
