That would be interesting. Setup a site to load the code by a deadline
and have members do the voting on the best solution.

I was just reading on CF-Talk where someone was looking for a function
that would turn a number (i.e. 125) into its equivalent text (i.e. one
hundred and twenty five). Then some other guy responded with a
solution, and mentioned that he wrote it as part of a code challenge
for his local CFUG. Which got me to wondering if our CFUG has ever had
some sort of official coding challenge. I remember a while back on the
list when someone (can't remember who) posed a problem and the rest of
us tried to come up with the most "elegant" solution. That was fun, as
I recall.
So, would there be any interest in having some sort of monthly code
challenge? Perhaps it would be announced at the meeting and then folks
would be able to show their working code at the next meeting. That
might be an incentive to come to the meetings. Or it could be done via
the list. However, I think announcing it at the meeting and then
seeing solutions at the next meeting is nice because it would give
entrants into the contest a whole month to think on the challenge.
Thus the challenges could be something more difficult or at least
something that would take more time.
Or what if the challenge was announced at the meeting (or on the list,
but still on the day of the meeting), and then valid or winning (not
sure how to define 'winning') solutions would be shown on a special
page on the DFWCFUG website.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Chris
