Collegue points me to this web site, 'cause i like web development. Microsoft Germany is organizing a Central-Eastern Europe-wide 24h web application development contest for students and companies.
Idea is:
- have a team of 3 developers
- go to the physical locations, provided by your country
- develop one main app and 3 small task, which you receive that day
- use ASP.NET or SilverLight or Windows Live Services (not mandatory) - i didnt read anywhere, which technology is mandatory...
- programm like hell for 24 hours
Conditions:
- you must be at least 18 years old
- you're not employee of Microsoft or related to him or the agency, that builds this contest
- you must bring a personal computer with you, network (books, samples, coffeeeee) will be provided by Microsoft
- you must be at location for 24 hours
- must build main app, small task are optinal
- for signup you must build a mini app and send it to the contest site. Theme are listed here.
- limit is also 30 teams per country
- start is 10-11 may 2008, parallel for other countries
- registration will be open at march (10.3.2008 or for en-US 3/10/3008)
I like this idea. I will certainly signup, if Slovenia will be in country list. I think, that this contest is a challenge, to show, what you got under the hood. Prizes are not shown yet, but they promise, that this will be worth to participate.
