Hack Day Schedule Hacked Out
Workshop itinerary posted
It’s time to get your groove on and prepare for Yahoo’s first ever public Hack Day, a 24-hour extravaganza of mash-up madness. If you were considering going but weren’t really sure what was in it for you, Friday’s workshop schedule has been posted over at the Yahoo! Interface blog. There will be lots of stuff for both budding and accomplished publishers. Oh, and it’s free!
The workshops are open to you whether you want to participate in the full 24-hour hacking cycle or not. If want to just come and learn, just go to Upcoming.org and make your desires known.
Still not convinced? In addition to the workshops, the all-night hacking sessions and the fabulous networking opportunities, there will be prize give-aways and cutting edge musical guests, including two old friends, the mash-up DJ duo of Bootie fame, Adrian & the Mysterious D.
If you’re planning to create and show a project hack, visit the Hack Day web site to request an invite.
And for the latest, look to the Hack Day blog.
