Who Should Come?
Since the weekend is all about development, we want developers, developers, developers! Experience on any of the platforms isn’t necessary, as the workshops on Saturday should help you get going. If you’re an old mobile hand, we hope you’ll come to share your knowledge and demo your apps. Of course, you can still get a lot out of the event if you’re not a developer. so if you’re interested in the future of mobile applications come on out. Finally, we encourage you to come even if you’re not based in Amsterdam, and we can help you to find a place to crash.
How do I register?
You can register on the Upcoming pages (Saturday, Sunday). Spaces will go fast, so sign up now! We have split the signup into two because we figure that some people will only want to come for one of the days.
What is the Hackathon?
The Hackathon is what we’re calling our all-day development session on Sunday where we all just set up our machines and get to work on making apps. If you like hanging out with lots of developers and making fun apps in record time, the Hackathon is for you.
Can I bring an existing application I’ve developed to the Hackathon?
Please do, as that way you can get help finishing it and also inspire other people. There will be time to demo apps on both days.
Can I present on Saturday?
Yes! We are looking for people to give workshops, and particularly need Android experts. We will also leave time slots open so people can propose topics on the day of the event. Please contact me at peter@mobiledevcamp.nl if you want to sign up.
I’m looking to hire a developer. How do I do that?
Please post on our job board. You may also want to come to our demo sessions to see what people have created.
