Fang Tian looked up. There were two computers on the stage.
The female host with the microphone stood on the stage. She wore a pair of red high heels and looked at least 1.8 meters tall.
She showed her best smile and said into the microphone, "Dear guests and students, please take your seats. The competition is about to begin!"
The students who had gathered together to discuss dispersed and returned to their seats.
The entire auditorium was full.
Similarly, Fang Tian also returned to his seat and sat down.
The entire auditorium quietened down. The school leaders went on stage to speak one by one. They were all meaningless. The mysterious person that Fang Tian was looking forward to did not appear until now.
Finally, it was Headmaster Chen Wenshan's turn to speak. After a short speech, he said loudly, "I hereby announce the official start of this year's software competition!"
"Hualala …" The audience applauded continuously.
"Thank you, Headmaster!" The female host introduced, "In this year's competition, the top three contestants will not only receive rich prizes. Your winning software can also sign a contract with the software company. It is not a dream to get your hands on it! "
Once she said that, the audience applauded even louder!
Of course, the benefits were attractive. However, for Fang Tian and He Shaofeng, there was a special meaning. It was a battle for reputation. No one could lose!
Next, the female host introduced the competition. Her sweet voice said, "In this year's software competition, there are a total of eight contestants. Seven of them are students from this school. The remaining one is a student from another school."
Who was it? All the students were very curious. Someone actually dared to come to their school to challenge the heroes! Could it be that the visitor was not friendly?
At this moment, Fang Tian's arm was pulled by the fatty behind him.
"Bro, you have to win!" The fatty was full of anticipation.
Fang Tian turned to look at him, puzzled, "Why are you looking forward to me so much? If I win, I won't give you a share of the prize money. "
"Money is a small matter. I made a bet with my classmate. If He Shaofeng wins, I will run naked!" The fatty said excitedly. His voice was very loud towards the end.
The people around them heard it. Not only that, but the judges not far away also heard it.
The female host seemed to have heard it too. She could not help but laugh!
Fang Tian remembered that two days ago, the fat guy and the skinny guy made a bet. He didn't expect it to be true!
Fang Tian didn't know how to answer and remained silent.
The small interlude did not affect the audience's attention. Everyone was still looking at the stage.
The host continued, "There are a total of eight judges, and the maximum score is ten. Whoever had the highest score would be the winner. Every contestant will go up on stage and demonstrate the software you developed, and introduce the features of the software … The computer screen will be projected on the big screen behind me. "
With that said, the beautiful host turned around and pointed at the huge screen. She continued, "The points you have obtained will also appear here."
After listening to the host's introduction, Fang Tian understood.
In addition to the demonstration, the software also had to be described orally. The latter would also have a great impact on the judges' scores.
It seemed like it had nothing to do with software technology, but in fact, this was also a kind of user experience. It was useless to just have awesome software. Users did not know what you were using it for, and the software was not considered a good application.
The host smiled and said, "Now, let's invite the judge, Teacher Ma, to come up on stage and introduce the scoring rules."
Teacher Ma stood on stage. He looked to be about forty years old. His hair was sparse, and the center of his head was already bald.
He looked at the audience and smiled, "A good software must have these few prerequisites. First, it has to take up less resources. It can minimize the software's usage of hardware resources. If you use it and it gets stuck, I will definitely give you 0 points! "
"Haha!" The audience laughed.
"Second, it must be practical. If you come up with a software that detects how many strands of hair you have, I will definitely give you 0 points! "
Everyone looked at Teacher Ma's bald head and laughed.
Teacher Ma finally said, "Third, the user experience must be good. Teacher Ma is a noob user. If it is inconvenient, I will give you a big fat duck egg! "
"Haha …" Teacher Ma was too funny. If you are a noob, then everyone in the school is a noob.
Listening to Teacher Ma's introduction, Fang Tian felt that it was strange. The three points he said were very reasonable. However, why did he not mention a relatively important point?
The commercial value of the software.
It should be because of this era. First, they didn't want to make this technical competition too expensive.
Second, the commercial value of the software was still undiscovered by many companies. For a group of students, this was too much to ask.
However, no matter what the reason was, the judges didn't care about the commercial value.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Ma!" The female host said, "Now, let's invite contestant number one, Zhang Xiaoguang, to come on stage and demonstrate his program! Everyone, let's give him a round of applause! "
"Hualala …" In the applause, Zhang Xiaoguang, who was wearing a red shirt, walked on stage.
"Thank you everyone!" Zhang Xiaoguang bowed first. Then, he took out a CD from the document bag.
In this era, there was no such thing as a USB drive. Naturally, a CD was the most popular storage tool.
Of course, there was something called a floppy disk, but that thing couldn't even fit a high-quality MP3 player. Obviously, it couldn't be used to install software.
A few years later, that thing was obsolete. Many students from the 90s or the 00s didn't even know what a floppy disk was.
Zhang Xiaoguang stood in front of the computer and inserted the CD. With a click of the mouse, the software was quickly installed.
The whole software installation process appeared on the big screen.
The name of the software was "Librarian".
Looking at the name, one could guess what it was used for.
After starting the software, Zhang Xiaoguang looked at the judges and smiled, "Everyone can see that this is a library management software."
"What's the difference between your software and other library management software?" One of the judges asked.
Zhang Xiaoguang smiled and introduced, "It has a powerful text search function. It allows you to easily find the books you want."
As he said that, he controlled the mouse to hide it. "For example, if we want to find 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', you only need to enter the first letter of each word."
He tapped on the keyboard and entered "SGYY".
Then, he clicked on the search button. The interface refreshed. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was listed.
Zhang Xiaoguang continued, "Not only that, it has a powerful associative ability. Even if you enter the wrong book, it will know what book you are looking for."
As he said that, he finished demonstrating all the special functions one by one.
Fang Tian looked and felt that he did quite well. In this era where even Baidu was unknown, it was quite difficult to do such an associative search.
