Are you trying to improve your technical Korean skills and looking to get started with some challenges in Korean? If yes, then you've come to the right place! In this post, we'll go through the process of registering on programmers.co.kr, a website that offers a variety of coding challenges and exercises.

How to register?

To start, head over to programmers.co.kr and click on the 회원가입 (membership registration) button, located in the upper right corner of the website.

From there, you can sign up using your name (이름), email (이메일), and password (비밀번호) or choose to connect your Google, Kakao, Github, or Facebook account.

Once you've created an account, you'll be prompted to accept the website's terms of use (이용약관), allow the collection and use of your personal information (프로그래머스 개인정보 수집 및 이용 동의), and confirm that you're 14 years or older (만 14세 이상입니다). You'll also have the option to agree to receive marketing emails (마케팅 활용 동의 및 광고 수신 동의).

After completing the initial registration, you'll be asked to provide additional information, such as your desired job (희망직무) and main technology (주요기술). For your desired job, choose your area of interest, and for your main technology, select the programming language you use the most.

Once you've provided all the necessary information, you're almost ready to start exploring the website. But first, you'll need to verify your account by clicking on the link sent to your email.

What now?

Now that you're registered and verified, it's time to start exploring the website. I recommend filling out your profile with relevant information and trying out some coding challenges. You can find the coding challenges under 코딩테스트 연습 (coding test practice) in the website's navbar. If you're new to coding challenges, I suggest starting with the beginner-friendly challenge, 두 수의 합 (no translation this time, try to figure out what to do by just looking at input and output!).

If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to leave a comment. I'm always happy to help! In the next post, we'll tackle our first challenge together, so stay tuned.

Thanks for reading!
