The Programming League continues now that the holidays are over, and round 7 will begin on January 10th.

By now you know how to program quite a bit more than at the start, and the ProgramaMe regional qualifier is getting close, so it's time to grit your teeth and give it your all. We've turned the difficulty up a notch on the problems (thanks Marc!), so think them through carefully before you start coding or you'll be swimming in TLEs and MLEs!

We hope you really enjoy the challenges we've prepared for you.

Happy 2026 and good luck!

The Programming League is taking a well-earned break, but it'll be back with round 7 on January 10th, 2026.

Here are the updated standings at the end of round 6.

In the first division standings there's a two-way tie for the lead with a perfect score, but with several chasers ready to pounce on any slip-up. The second division standings are even more exciting, with 19 students tied for the top score.

The whole JO-EL team wishes you good luck for the coming year 2026 and a wonderful holiday season.

See you when we're back!

Today, November 6th at 9:17am, while some people were shipwrecked outside in a heavy downpour, someone made submission number 300,000 and, of course... it turned out to be a failed submission, again! (did they get shipwrecked too?)

This time we had everything going for us: the moment was approaching, we opened an easy test contest with a Hello World! that everyone can get right on the first try. What could possibly go wrong?

But it wasn't meant to be, and this time there won't be any prize either.

See you at submission 400,000!

Second season of the Programming League

The second season of the League is warming up its engines and already has a start date: November 8th!

What's new this edition:

• There will be 12 rounds
• Rounds will be smaller (2 or 3 problems), but more frequent (1 every week).
• They'll open at midnight on Saturdays
• We have a League logo now

Next week we'll share more news. Stay tuned!!!

Hi! Several institutions have come together to move forward with last year's FP Programming League project. So we're happy to announce there will be a SECOND SEASON of the FP Programming League!

It'll start very soon, and we have 3 surprises ready to celebrate the start of the league.

For students:

If you're interested in taking part or want to know how it works, ask your school to get in touch with the organizers so you can join in.

For teachers:

If you'd like to know how to use JOEL or the League to help with your programming modules, get in touch with the organizers too.

Very soon (very soon!) we'll tell you the rounds, host institutions, and how the league works. You can check out here how last year's League went:

First surprise: Java 25!

We've updated JOEL to make it compatible with Java 25. This update, which improves on the previous Java 11 version, means JOEL can now run code written in Java 17, Java 21, or Java 25, taking advantage of the Quality of Life improvements recently added. So if you use Java, we recommend switching your preferred language to Java 25.

See you very soon with more news!

Hola!

El dia 12/02/2022, de 16:00 a 19:30 es celebra la Codejam 2025! Aquesta és la edició num XVIII de la Codejam.

La Codejam és un concurs de programació de 3 hores, a on els concursants intenten resoldre la major quantitat de problemes possibles. En aquest sentit, si la Lliga de Programació és una Lliga, la Codejam és com si fos la Copa!

A les 15:50 es fara una petita presentació sobre el concurs, com funciona, i com fer servir la plataforma, mitjançant aquest canal de youtube

També es penjaran unes petites instruccions, que teniu aquí
