EXCALIBUR: Software development Contest
“We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why
even be here? We're creating a completely new consciousness, like an
artist or a poet. That’s how you have to think of this. We're rewriting
the history of human thought with what we're doing.”—Steve Jobs
Be the change you want. Develop the software which you think will be
the next big thing, like the Google search or the Matlab. Innovate,
share and yes, expect a scrutinizing audience. Excalibur is a platform to bring out the developers hidden inside you, and to
truly discover yourself as a potential software engineer.
The software to be developed can be a .NET application (Windows or Web either), a
software developed using C++, java, VB or any other language. There is no
constraint on the platform or language to be used. But what is important is the idea,
and the skill to realise it.
