Roman arenas were a symbol of the might of the Roman Empire, with more than 200 of them scattered around the world. However, the Arena we have built and proudly present is not like those found in Nimes or Arles (France), Pompeii, Verona, or the Colosseum (Italy), Solin or Pula (Croatia), or El Djem (Tunisia). 

Our unique Arena offers free entry and a complete, immersive experience that showcases reality through the abstract concepts of programming. It’s a place where you can encounter yourself and test your strength, determining whether you’re a grain of sand or a self-aware, disciplined, and bold winner who is willing to make short-term sacrifices for long-term gain.

Here are some tips that can help you thrive in the Arena:

  • Be prepared: Before the Arena starts, do your research, and make sure you understand the program’s requirements, schedule, and expectations. Be sure that you understand well what you will learn, and which programming language or framework you will master. This will help you be better prepared for what’s to come.
  • Set realistic goals: Be clear about what you want to achieve from the Arena and set realistic goals. Avoid distractions such as social media or browsing the web. This will help you stay motivated and focused during the Arena.
  • Manage your time wisely: Arena is intense, so it’s important to manage your time well. Create a schedule and stick to it, making sure to allocate time for studying, projects, and self-care.
  • Stay organized: Keep track of your assignments, deadlines, and progress. Use tools like calendars, to-do lists, and project management software to stay organized and on top of your work.
  • Ask for help: Don’t be afraid to ask your peers, or mentors for help when you need it, or when you don’t understand something. They are there to support you and can provide valuable guidance and feedback. Asking questions can help you learn faster.
  • Stay motivated: “Learning by doing” can be stressful and overwhelming but remember why you started and stay motivated. Reward yourself for reaching milestones and celebrate your progress along the way.
  • Practice: Programming requires practice, so make sure to spend plenty of time coding. Try building your own projects or contributing to open-source projects.
  • Take care of yourself: It’s important to prioritize your physical and mental health during the Arena. Get enough sleep, exercise, eat well, and take breaks when needed. Don’t forget to take care of your emotional well-being too, by talking to friends or a counselor if needed.

Remember, Arena is challenging, but is also rewarding. Success is in front of you. 

Stay focused, work hard, and don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
