To demonstrate the fun in software applications development and to
promote programming and standards as essential aspects of enabling
Singapore to be an infocomm technology hub, the IT Standards Committee
(ITSC) is organizing its first programming competition called
"Code::XtremeApps::" on 22-23 September 2007 where participants will
develop cool applications and applets using some of the latest
technologies such as Ruby on Rails, Google Gadgets, Google Maps and
Google Web Toolkit.
The climax of the "Code::XtremeApps::" competition is the prize
