"Mario Andretti once said, 'If you have everything under control your not going fast enough'. In this race that may not be true."

"I was really excited to be part of Code Rally competition again this year. It was great to see new improvements and to participate in this innovative project."

"Code Rally is an interesting challenge. It's pretty simple to cruise around at a constant speed -- but things quickly get very real when your code needs to balance multiple priorities in near real-time: plotting a course, managing speed around curves, avoiding obstacles... Many things to try. I expect to see some interesting races ahead."

"I always welcome initiatives reminding that programming is fun and got immediately addicted to CodeRally !"

"It was a great experience to be able to race with other people from Europe. I have to admit that the game was very addictive! Thank you to IBM and InfoQ to implement this kind of challenge."

"Code Rally was a great, immersive experience that gave me the chance to learn about artificial intelligence (AI) and new, high end technologies. I studied the API to try new AI functions for my car. It was a lot of fun."

"IBM Code Rally is very addictive - I simply couldn't stop playing for the fastest time! I was on vacation when I entered the challenge and was very glad I played - I have never played anything like this before! Thanks for putting this on - I look forward to new Code Rally challenges in the future!"

"My boss told me about Code Rally early November, and I thought it might be nice to try out. I installed the whole environment on my machine and when I started coding I realized that the game was AMAZING! The tools were fantastic. I hadn’t used Websphere server, Liberty and Bluemix before; I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them in action. I had so much fun and learned lots of things."

"I think Code Rally is an excellent game, fun to play with and one of a kind. I also think that IBM Bluemix is a great platform, providing such a variety of rich features such as support for IoT, Big Data, security, and scalability. We are migrating our web application to Rails and will also be deploying our application to the Bluemix platform."

"It was a thrilling experience being part of such a big event . The game was very well organized."

"Code Rally, Code for fun!"

"The Code Rally Challenge is really a good game, The game made me excited. Faster, faster, faster. I can feel the passion of other coders. IBM is a great company. I am looking forward for the Challenge next year."

"This is the first time I participated in Code Rally and it was lot’s of fun! I love the feeling of engaging myself in studying how to be faster than the last round. Thanks to IBM and InfoQ for inspiring me."
