IDUG Conducting Global Search For XML Superstar

By Doug Caverly

XML professionals all over the world may want to set aside a little time and prepare to get started on some new projects.  A contest called "The Search for the XML Superstar" is in progress, and people stand to gain a lot by entering.

The competition's homepage explains, "If you're a student, then you can leverage your entry in your job hunt.  If you're already in the professional ranks, you can gain some well-deserved recognition for your XML skills.  Oh yeah, and there's thousands of dollars in prizes, ranging from Wiis to complimentary technical conferences."

Any and all thanks should go to IDUG, the contest's sponsor.  As for more about what's actually going on, there are five mini-challenges in the areas of videos, gadgets, queries, ported apps, and plain old XML.  One entry is allowed in each contest per month, prizes are given out, and then a points tally will determine an overall winner.

There are different start and end dates to the XML Superstar contest in different countries, though, so you'll want to visit the official site to see how the clock's running in your region.

Good luck if you decide to enter.  The grand prize is a Bose Wave Radio.
