Testing yourself in Codility

Today I've checked how Codility tests programmers. And it looks like a fun.

After you access a test (possibly to get certificate) you will have access to some simple web IDE where you will write your solution for the given problem. The task was some quite interesting algorithnic problem, to solve in 60 minutes.

It wasn't to hard but time limitation made it a nice challenge. I think it's quite good to test yourself and have some mental stretching.

Codility is used mainly as a recruitment tools for IT staff and that make me wondering how useful it is, especially to hire senior developers. Codility focuses on resolving algorithnic tasks, but in real life a developer must solve problems of much infrastructure complexity and I think that it might require different sets of skills.

But obviously it's nice tools to verify some basic programming skills of possible junior developers.
And in the end, this is my Certificate gained in Codility:

  4. Kangwon Land is stopping civic teams who're prepared to assist gambling 원 엑스 벳 addicted people at its on line casino web site, and they don't pay any attention to the access of addicted people. It elevated the maximum wager to 15,000,000 gained from 6,000,000 gained, doesn’t stop banned people from getting into, permits people go over the betting amount, and works as a non-public mortgage agency. The NGCC has accepted some demands of civic teams and the “Electric Card System” is now in its trial interval. The ECS is a groundbreaking system that anybody who gambles must possess in order to to} document variety of casinos visited and amount of cash wager.
