When we recently heard that Philippines tech community Webgeek was looking to hold its own hackathon, we were more than happy to help spread the news. The competition is called Webgeek DevCup, and as John Arce from Webgeek puts it, it’s six hours of pure web app development competition.
No business, no pitching, no PowerPoints – just hacking. Then of course, comes the Q&A session with the tech gurus for the participants to explain the technical side of their web app. The competition’s prizes will be announced in the next few weeks. But John told us to expect smartphones, tablets, some special gadgets, and trophies for sure (it is a ‘cup’ after all). Webgeek encourages all web developers, designers, programmers, and enthusiasts to take part in this event.
