Polish programmers have won the first place in the World Finals of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest which had place in Tokyo, Japan in March 12 – 16, 2007. The most talented students from the world’s finest universities were competing in the annual contest supported by ACM and IBM.

From over then 6000 teams on 6 continents only 88 have qualified, two of them were from Poland and represented Warsaw University and University of Wroclaw. This is another time in a row when polish students proved their knowledge and skills in computing sciences and engineering in a world wide competition.

In 2003 Warsaw University won the university team title in the ACM-ICPC in Texas and in 2004 the same university won bronze medal. In 2006 in ACM – ICPC Jagiellonian University took second place winning gold medal and on seventh place Warsaw University took silver medal.

In the same year 2005 Poland took first place in Top Coder contest. The most prestigious programming company which holds the worldwide online contest for the best programmers and schools announced Poland as an „undeniable leader who left behind USA and other cyber powers”.

The first place in Google Code Jam 2005 took polish student at Warsaw University and again polish student won first place in Code Jam Europe 2006. Google Cod Jam is another annual online coding competition consisting of a series of problem-solving challenges that invite participants to select a programming language and use their programming skills to code solutions to the problems.

Polish programmers have been taking a part in large competitions for years and they have been winning prizes year by year. The very high education level of polish universities and top engineering and computing talent of young students have already made them very successful programmers on the international ground.
