We're excited to announce Google Code Jam 2009, this year's iteration of Google's annual programming competition, which offers coders from around the world an opportunity to solve complex algorithmic problems under time pressure, using the programming languages and tools of their choice.

This year's contest will consist of a qualification round followed by 3 full online rounds, culminating in a 25-person final in our Mountain View, California headquarters. We're still choosing the exact times for everything, but here's our tentative schedule:

Early-Mid August: Registration will open.
+4 Weeks: Qualification round
+1 Week: Rounds 1A, 1B, 1C
+1 Week: Round 2
+1 Week: Round 3
November: World Finals in Mountain View

Online rounds begin soon, so start practicing
