We need submissions for the next meetup. The date is tentative, until I receive 6 more submissions.

The topic: Programming Puzzles. Here are some examples: [list]

  • You just don't "get" it- Users must "hack" a webpage using HTML? Yes, HTML. Skill Level: 3
  • Do the Math- users will submit a piece of JavaScript to a form that will calculate a value and do a post back to verify the result. Skill Level: 2
  • Create a web service- Users will submit there URL to a form which will call the other page and look for a specified result. Use PHP, .Net, Ruby, Python or whatever. Skill Level: 4
  • SQL Injection- given a basic form (and a little info on the DB) users will do a SQL injection attack to update insert a new record with their name. Skill Level: 2
  • Recursion- Users will have to write some recursive code to solve a common Hierarchy problem. Any Programming Language. Skill Level 4.
    • [/list]

    Depending on your insight, each problem should take only 15-20 minutes to solve. Difficult is based on knowledge and length of time to code the solution: Long coding (15 minutes) + arcane knowledge = skill level 5.

    To submit a puzzle, send me an email with the name, description, skills required and difficulty on a scale of 1-5 (5=hardest). If you submit you must commit to providing any ancillary code that is needed, you must provide a solution, and you really ought to show up to the event...

    If I don't have enough submissions, I'll be pushing the meeting back...

    Every submitter will receive a special gift from me. No, it is not a Blackberry.
