It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

Have a great summer break!
Congrats to the graduating seniors and grad students.

The ACM will return this fall with its new leadership for more events and fun. Have a great summer!

ACM NCAA Tournament Simulator
For the third year in a row, the ACM will be holding an NCAA tournament simulator contest. The basic idea is to code one method (in Java) to determine the winners in the NCAA men’s division 1 basketball tournament given a certain set of stats. The deadline for code submission is Wednesday, March 18 at 12:01 AM. We’ll run your code once to generate your bracket, then send you the results so you can keep track as the tournament progresses.

Complete information is available here.

Here's a link to the contest scoreboard.
