Ask a coding buff what is heaven, and he or she will probably say Googleplex, Google's headquarters in California.

Two teenagers of Jamshedpur have now beaten hundreds of others from across six continents in the latest edition of Google Code-In contest to be counted among 28 global winners, including five Indians, and bag invitations to Googleplex this June.

Class XI students Kinshuk Kashyap (16) and S. Sai Vineet (17) of JH Tarapore School, Dhatkidih, who came to know about their victory this February 8, are still in a state of shock.

"I can't imagine I'm among the world's top 28," said Vineet, a resident of Vijaya's Shatabdee in Sonari. "I'm very happy for Kinshuk and the other three Indians in the top list (Yathannsh Kulshreshtha, Suryansh Singh and Sudhanshu Gautam)," he added, not forgetting to mention the city's sole winner last year, his school mate and friend Anurag Sharma.

Vineet added: "I have been trying (Code-In) for three years and I can't tell you how happy I am to make it to the top 28. I'm all excited for my Googleplex trip where I'll learn more about Google, meet engineers there and make new friends."

Equally elated is Sonari West Layout boy Kinshuk, who said he tried out Code-In as an aspiring researcher in computer science.

"I wanted to take part last year but withdrew as I had my boards (ICSE). This year I tried and succeeded," said the boy for whom computer science is his "love".

So, what is Google Code-In all about? A contest to introduce pre-university students aged between 13 and 17 years to contributions that make open-source software development possible, it challenges them to perform thousands of tasks - writing or refactoring code, creating/editing documents, community management and outreach/marketing, testing and ensuring the code is of high quality, studying a problem and recommending solutions, helping others learn more - to screen the brightest participants.

This time, 980 students from 65 countries, including India, the US, Poland, Czech Republic, Costa Rica and others, performed 4,776 tasks December 2015 and January 2016. Winners were chosen by the 14 open-source organisations that devised the tasks.

The boys will make their trip to Googleplex between June 12 and June 15.

"Jamshedpur kids have oodles of talent," their principal Lata Sharat smiled.
