'Europa dei cybercowboys. Ma non e' la nostra

Esiste una parte d'Europa che sta arrivando ai vertici della catena alimentare informatica. E no, non e' quella "sociale" . Rise Of A Powerhouse: "Rise Of A Powerhouse
How the young knowledge workers of Central Europe are pushing the region to a new level

They came from around the world, young men with handles like SnapDragon and Bladerunner attacking computing problems so complex that even experienced coders could only stare at the screen in bewilderment. Only one mastered the final algorithm problem: Eryk Kopczynski, a.k.a. Eryx, a reticent Warsaw University student who wears his long hair in a ponytail and says his life's ambition is to 'discover some interesting notion.'

Kopczynski's triumph in this year's TopCoder Open, sponsored by Sun Microsystems, was no fluke. He was following in the footsteps of a slew of computing geniuses to emerge from the monolithic Soviet style buildings of Warsaw U. 'Poles like to compete,' says Warsaw U computer science student Marek Cygan, winner of this year's Google Code Jam. No kidding. Warsaw University is ranked No. 1 in the world in top coder events, ahead of the likes of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Just like India's best tech schools, Warsaw U has confounded a scarcity of resources to identify and nurture bright students."
