LOGIQUEST, a Swiss programming contest

I am the coordinator of LOGIQUEST, a programming contest addressed to ETH and University students of Switzerland of the first two years. The contest aims to give the students the opportunity to experiment the development process of a real usable application, to learn a very hot technology, to manage a group work, and to get into contact with computer scientist professionals.

The participants developed during seven weeks a MIDlet, which is a small downloadable applications for cell-phones. This program is realized with a reduced version of Java called Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME).
