So much for a coding challenge to get tickets. "Registration will be first-come, first-served so make sure you're online promptly at 7AM PDT on March 27."

I'm not too sure about that just yet.

Part of your registration may be to checkout a Google Code project in the language of your choice and run the resulting program with a prequalification code they give you.

That would be unfortunate if you're trying to register on your phone, but they could easily just mention in advance on Google+ that you're going to need to be on a desktop computer.

Well, you could code a script that registers for you, before any human.
Right, sight unseen of the registration form...
