Want to show how good you are at coding "Big Data" solutions?

InterSystems Corp. is hosting a series of programming challenges in
the Globals Community.

The 1st Globals Challenge kicks off with a one day competition on
Saturday, October 29, 2011 @ 18:00 EDT
with the following offerings:

   - A cash prize of USD $3,500 for the winning entry
   - A press release announcing the winning participant and solution
   - A chance to win a free registration for the InterSystems Global
Summit

The challenge specifications will be revealed at the start of the
competition. You will have twenty-four hours
to create the best solution-application for a chance at winning the
prize offerings.  You can use either of the
two supported interfaces to the Globals database to create your
application: Java & Node.js

The details of the challenge can be found at the Globals Community
website:

Follow the challenge countdown, and come back to the Globals website
at the start of the competition to get the

Good luck and have some fun.
