Jonquark, my feelings are with you. I missed the Beginners section at the first coding competition only by a single week. This will always happen, there must be at some point a line. Some are in, some are out. But it is always a good learning project to do some mobile development. Nobody knows if you will need this skills at some point in the future of your work life. So nobody will lose in such a competition and don't forget, also in the Updates section are prizes possible.
