Project Aardvark - software built by interns in one summer
I know I'll be following this.
Joel Spolksy and his Fog Creek Software company have hired four summer interns and are giving them a project to build a new software product from scratch over the summer. Should be interesting!
As I wrote earlier, "This summer, Fog Creek Software has hired four summer interns from Yale, Duke, and Rose-Hulman. Our selection process was extremely competitive, with over 800 kids applying for only four positions.
"Instead of wasting their talents giving them the usual dull and unimportant tasks of a typical summer internship, we decided to let the interns create a complete new software product, from beginning to end, over the course of one summer. With experienced software developers as mentors, the team will design, program, test, and roll out a complete software product over the course of one hectic summer, going from concept to paying customers in about ten weeks."
