Some prep for APIStrat Speed Hack
Hi there!
Two more days to go to start of APIStrat.
Make sure to do some preparation for the Speed Hack this Friday! The sooner you do these things, the greater your advantage in the competition. At a minimum, you should create developer accounts with all the API providers.
1. Form a team of 1-3 members.
2. Create a developer account with each of the participating APIs and gain an unfair advantage by familiarizing yourself with all of them -- trust us, during the Speed Hack there won’t be much time!
- Twilio Developer Portal
- Twitter Developer Portal
- Context.io Developer Portal
- Respoke Developer Portal
- Traitify Developer Portal
- APITools Developer Portal
- ESRI Developer Portal
- Sendgrid Developer Portal
Descriptions and links are available on the Speed Hack page of the APIStrat website.
3. *New* We will use IRC as our central communication tool during the Speed Hack (for example to submit challenges to judges). For this, download an IRC client like:
- Colloquy for Mac (http://colloquy.info/)
- mIRC for Windows (http://www.mirc.com/)
The channel is #apistrat on irc.freenode.net You can also use the web interface http://webchat.freenode.net/ There you will interact with hapibot who will handle team creation, submitting solutions and judging. You can already join the channel.
Remember the challenges will be published on the APIStrat Speed Hack page on Friday, September 26, at 11:15am. That is 30 minutes before the Speed Hack officially kicks-off, so don’t be late!
We will be located in the Developer Track room -- there will be a sign that says Track 3 -- on the Gold level of the West Tower of the Hyatt Regency. We will also have a separate wifi network for Speed Hack devices only (i.e. your laptop, not your phone): Network: SpeedHack / Password: hack2014
