48 hour hack challenges? Group gatherings? Learn-from-each-other meetups sponsored by a grant or some friendly companies? Great.
I agree, this sort of stuff is just a cash-in.
(Or providing more grist for the local VC/Angel mill.)
- gerad 15y agoI help run http://nodeknockout.com/ http://nodeknockout.com/, a 48-hour hackathon. It's free and we run it as a service for the community. One or two of the best apps of the contest usually become legitimate businesses. Not all of that happens in 48hours, there's a lot of strategizing that happens before the competition, and a ton of work that happens afterward. BUT, you can create a hell of an MVP in 48 hours if you know what you need to do.
- damncabbage 15y agoOh, definitely! I'm a huge fan of the Node.js Knockout. (My point is that you're not charging people $100 for the privilege.)
