40+ Best Programming Contest | Coding Competition Websites | FromDev

Online Programming contest sites are websites which are an ideal platform through which a programmer gets a unique opportunity to test his programming skills through the online contests held online at set frequencies. These contest sites would also enable a programmer to do a self evaluation on where he stands vis-a-vis the other online contestants. The contestants also get the opportunity to showcase his brilliance by solving problems which no one else might have solved yet. And last but not the least; the prize money for the winner is much higher when compared to a freelance site and the probability of landing up with a good job is much higher.

The following section discusses the speciality of some of such websites and why they are good to be tried out.

CodeChef

The specialty of the site is that not only it is an online programming contest site but it also provides the programmers an opportunity to be trained, meet each other and have a healthy competition. It is good to try out this site as apart from competing, aspiring programmers stay updated through its presence in social media.

Sphere Online Judge (SPOJ)

This online judge system (tests programs online in contests) has the solutions to 10000 problems in languages like English, Polish, Vietnamese and Portuguese. C++, Java, C are some languages in which solutions are submitted. Availability of an online forum allows more than 100000 users registered to decide how to solve the problem.

UVa Online Judge

This is also an online judge system where the registered users can submit problems in variety of languages. The problems are quite similar to those in online contests and are stored in formats like PDF or HTML.

ProjectEuler

Both adults and students who have interests in programming and mathematics can try this site out. The site has hundreds of problems solved by programming. There are 17 levels of achievements and participants can go to a higher level by solving certain problems.

Programming Challenges

The site is still under construction and its beta version is only available and as such at present, all the features are not available. The C/C++ programs being submitted are judged fairly but at its present stage the same in Java may not be judged properly.
