Oakton Computer Student Wins Programming Contest
E.C. "Woody" Hansmann, a resident of Northbrook and student at Oakton Community College, is one of 15 winners in a nationwide Microsoft programming contest. Hansmann's winning entry is a mobile device version of the popular strategy game, Master Mind, which was first introduced in the early 1970s.
Microsoft received an estimated 300 entries to its "Will Code for Device" contest, which called for submissions of innovative code targeting the Compact Framework using Visual Studio .NET 2003. Hansmann, 69, a returning student with many years of programming experience, recently completed a three-course retraining sequence in Visual Basic Programming at Oakton.
All winners received a Windows Mobile device from Microsoft, which also is making the winning codes available for download via the Internet.
