An item in the
Code Project
Insider last week provoked a bit of discussion (OK, a lot of discussion) on
how kids these days don't know how to write Lean and Mean code. As the debate raged
we decided the best thing to do is throw the contenders into a cage with studded
mice, sharpened keyboards and extra bright laser pointers, and with only aluminium
iMacs strapped to their arms for defence.
Unfortunately Legal decided that probably wasn't a great idea so we have started
a competition
instead: Create an application that will calculate and display the changes between
two HTML files as fast as possible using the least amount of memory possible. Provide
timing data and maximum memory use data to prove you're the leanest and meanest.
Details on the
competition
page.
Speaking of competitions, links to the voting forms for the best articles of
last month are up on the homepage. Please vote!
