----------------- Events -----------------
Hackathon
A technical hackathon is an event, typically lasting several days, in which computer programmers, designers, and other technical professionals come together to work on projects and solve problems. Hackathons are typically focused on creating technical solutions to specific problems or challenges, and participants work in teams to develop prototypes, software, or other technical products. Hackathons can be organized by companies, universities, or other organizations and are often focused on a specific theme or industry. They are a great way for people to learn new skills, network with other professionals, and showcase their expertise.
Capture the Flag
Capture the flag (CTF) is a type of competition or game in which two teams attempt to capture each other's flag or other objective, while protecting their own. It is typically played in outdoor fields or large indoor spaces, and can be adapted to a variety of settings and rule sets. In cybersecurity, CTF events are often used as a way for participants to learn and practice their hacking skills. These events can range from simple challenges that are completed in a few minutes to complex, multi-day competitions that require a wide range of technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities. CTFs are a popular activity at hacker conferences and other cybersecurity events, and can be a fun and engaging way for people to learn about and improve their skills in the field.
Competetive Coding
Competitive coding refers to the practice of solving programming problems in a competitive environment, often as a means of preparation for programming contests or as a recreational activity. Competitive coding typically involves solving algorithmic problems under time pressure, either individually or as part of a team. Participants may compete online, at local meetups, or at physical events such as hackathons. Competitive coding is a popular activity among computer science students and professionals, as it helps to improve problem-solving skills, coding proficiency, and competitiveness. It is also a way for people to learn new programming languages, algorithms, and data structures.
