Codility - Automated tests of programming skills

As a student this is very interesting since it could also be used to measure self progress. There's a myriad of ways to test your abilities in most subjects, but if I want to find out if I'm any good at programming or to measure my progress, there are very few easy ways to do that. Are you going to sell this to just business's?

Have you tried topcoder? It's the same as codility, but with cooler/harder problems.

Codility tech team is from Warsaw University, we are more than familiar with TopCoder, ACM CPC, IOI etc. We deliberately keep Codility tasks at fundamental level. Codility is not a competition for 100 world's best programmers, it is a tool to tell decent programmers from poor ones. We can raise the bar arbitrarily high, if there is a customer who needs it.

Thanks for the tip, topcoder looks pretty interesting in general, too.

Also Project Euler might be worth a look. It focusses on solving math-related problems with progams.

If an edu focused business case emerges, we will definitely look into it.
