Is joining a hackathon a good practice?

If you know about networking, as that's what that one requires. It seems to be more serious though, so using it as practice might not be the best intention going into this one.

What do you mean networking?

Also I found this Webinar online. Maybe you want to join in.

I think a good place to practice coding is projecteuler.net. The thing I really like about is that once you're done, you can see other people's solutions, and that's always instructive. The problems are much clearer than places like codechef too. The only caveat is that sometimes the harder ones are more about finding a clever algorithm than actually coding it.

Thanks for the reply bro. Have you participated in a hackathons before?

Have you participated in a hackathons before?

Never. I'm a professional with 30+ years of experience. We write code carefully, not quickly. I don't know what I'd gain from a hackathon.

@dlhayden You realise you're talking to a spammer, who's just trying to up their post count?

Actually, I'm a graduate of Information Technology and I have joined a hackathon before and I wanted to get back on track by joining this hackathon as a practice that is why I was asking because I was curious since it been 2 years since coded again.

Btw, Thanks for judging me based on your experience with others. :)

Well, I mean, that's not really an unreasonable thing to do, man. Were you expecting strangers on the Internet to conduct a four-hour interview to get to know you better before deciding if you're a spammer or not? Look at it from our perspective. Do you have any idea how much spam this place gets?

If you ever see someone post:

You'd automatically think they're a spammer too.
