The final day!

It's the last day of the NCSS Challenge 2008. Over the past five weeks, the participants have written literally tens of thousands of Python programs, and I'm sure we'll get a final surge today.

Well done to everyone who has taken part! We're constantly amazed by the effort you have all put in and the quality of your code. And if you're scrambling to solve some final problems today, good luck!

The scoreboard will take us some time to finalise, since we need to chase up some things manually and add or remove some points here and there, so check back later in the week for the final results.

The Python programming language is easy to learn, but at the same time, it's powerful enough to be used by experienced programmers for all sorts of applications. Google is actively looking for Python skills in its new hires. Please read the Getting Started Guide for a step-by-step introduction to installing Python and running your first Python program. Here are some sources of information about Python: The Python Web Site How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, a free book introducing programming with Python.
