What technologies should I study to prepare for DC Startup Weekend?
- troygoode 16y agoThat is a _really_ open-ended question... can you give a bit more background to what you're wanting to get out of the event? Are you a developer? Designer? "Business" guy/gal? Are you looking to create a web app? A desktop app? A mobile app? Something else entirely? I _think_ I'm headed to the event as well, so maybe I'll see you there!
- FreakeeOutee 16y agoThanks for responding. Yes, I suppose I should clarify. I'm fresh out of college with a degree in Computer Science and Biochemistry and saw this as a great opportunity to gain exposure to this scene and learn a lot. I first heard about the DC Startup weekend through a co-worker and it is all new to me. I don't really know what the event is like or how it will all flow, but I do know that I want to be prepared for anything. Any suggestions are welcome; I hope to see you too!
- troygoode 16y agoI've never been either (I believe this is the first time the event has been in DC?), so I am also clueless as to the flow. If you're trying to get into the scene as a web app developer, I'd recommend starting by learning Ruby on Rails. It certainly isn't always the best choice, but it is a VERY popular choice and can give you kind of a baseline to discuss other technologies with people.
