Czech Republic Youth Programmers Championship 2007

Czech youth programmers met in Janske Lazne in Krkonose Mountains during the last weekend of June, and they competed who is better programmer. It was 21st year of this championship and second when Sun was one of sponsors (thanks to Pavel Suk). The task was to create easy music score viewer/editor which shows music score loaded from XML file. The task was relatively easy, but four hours limit for solving the problem is not many. The competition has been divided into two categories based on the competitors age. First category is up to fifteen and second category is up to nineteen.
	Sun also prepared some presentation about its own technologies. Martin Ryzl presented Mobile Java solution. He described what ME Java is what is different from standard Java and how to write application for cell phones. He used Netbeans and its mobility pack to demonstrate examples.
Jakub Jermar presented basic concepts of operating systems and these concepts described on Solaris implementation. I was surprised how many people were interested in this theme. Jakub had to answer a lot of questions and some youth were interested in short mdb presentation.
	Each year is difficult to determine first three/four positions in each category. Jury must examine each detail and they must make a decision which solution is better. It is not an easy and often causes hot discussion. Fortunately, jury always makes a decision and the championship is successfully finished. I'm looking forward to the next year and I hope Sun will be there again.
