How PIZZA makes Poland’s programmers better
It was early Saturday morning when I entered the main lecture room at the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Wroclaw. Some of the 100 young people at the audience were still dozing, some pumping their veins with coffee, others immersed in their laptops. The oldest ones were in their thirties, some of them as young as 16 and 17. They were all about to take part in PIZZA – an annual programming competition hosted by the students of the Institute.
