Dear friends,

Competitors from all over the globe have “imagined a world where technology has solved the toughest problems facing us today” and have spent the last year making their vision a reality through innovative software solutions. These finalist teams have competed and were crowned the best in their respective country or region. Each of them will be travelling to Cairo, Egypt to compete against one another at the 2009 Imagine Cup Worldwide Finals. Although industry leaders will be given the difficult task of determining which team will be this year’s winner, we want to know what YOU think…

The People’s Choice Award was created to showcase the Software Design finalist team’s solution and to allow YOU to have a say in which team you think should be on stage as the winner in Cairo. Let your voice be heard.

On behalf of the Maltese Team, LogicArts I invite you to visit this website (http://peopleschoice.imaginecup.com/default.aspx) and vote for our team. NB: Ideally you should use Internet Explorer and you can vote once a day.

Please support us by forwarding this email to all your friends.

Thanks for your consideration.

All the best,
Mauro

Imagine cup is an annual student technology competition supported by Microsoft. This year’s theme is “Imagine a world where technology helps solve the toughest problems facing us today.”

My team which consisted of James Abela, Brian Fenech, Keith Galea and myself on behalf of the University of Malta, developed a system called DonationExpress. In a nutshell, our project will integate existing shopping carts with one, global trusted source of donations and allow donations to be made quickly and easily upon a checkout. The system also includes a web portal to display donations in a transparent way and track how donations are spent by charity organisations.

Yesterday we managed to beat MCAST and STC in the Imagine Cup local finals held at Hilton Conference Centre. The panel of judges consisted of five local industry professionals namely Jonathan Cassar from MITA, Adrian Porter from Exigy, Joseph Borg from ICON Studios, Steve Giordano Imbroll from 6pm and Steve Casaletto from Key Services.

Our next challenge will be in Egypt were we will be competing against teams from over 100 countries!

Google Trends is a service which allows you to compare the popularity of different search terms. The comparison is represented by using a line graph with “time” along the x-axis and “total number of searches” along the y-axis. Note that the graph shows time starting from year 2004.

The interesting part is that there are some search terms which are seasonal and others increase depending on some global factor. For example, here’s the graph generated by Google Trends for the term “Euro”. As you may notice, the graph has two spikes, one for Euro 2004 and the other for Euro 2008.

Just as another example, here’s the comparison of 4 different programming languages: C#, Java, C, PHP
