HackVAN is the 2012 Vancouver-based edition of HackDays, the one-day API programming hackathon events that take place across Canada.
For one day, teams of 1 – 3 developers work on integrating with one or more of the sponsors APIs. Judges from the local tech community judge based on awesomeness and technical difficulty, and we award fantastic prizes including a MacBook Air, iPads, e-readers and more.
We’ll start with a mixer on Friday night so people can find development partners and meet everyone else, and then you have one day on Saturday to code your entire application. We’ll keep you fed and pour you a beer at the end of the day, and then the presentations and judging occur.
Tickets can be found at http://hackvan2012.eventbrite.com/
To kick off the launch of Wasted Talent: Welcome to the Real World, Angela Melick is hosting a launch party at The Pint in Downtown Vancouver. Yes, she knows that this is on short notice. Yes, she knows that everybody’s going to be watching their favorite hockey squadron score a basket in the last quarter. But you know what? That’s the way the real world works. Awesome stuff just happens while you’re making other plans. So do yourself a favour and stop by and say hi. There will be beer and cake.
