Falling in love with the Google+ API
By Melina Mattos, Program Manager for Google Africa
and Bob Aman, Program Manager for Developer RelationsCross-posted from the Google
Africa BlogAttention developers! Of the 90+
Google APIs, which is your favorite? We know that we fell in love with the Google+ API after
we saw the amazing applications built from the
Hackathons
in South Africa and Kenya. We want to continue spreading the love!
This Valentine’s Day we’re thrilled to announce that we are holding three more
Google+ Hackathons with the support of the
Google Technology
User Groups (GTUGs) in
Accra,
Kampala, and
Lagos.
If you are ready to wow us with your application, please apply for the event
using these forms:
Kampala
on March 10 at the 4th floor of Solis House,
Lagos
on March 17 at the CCHub Nigeria, and
Accra
on March 21 at the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology.
Remember to start today on getting those creative juices flowing! Familiarize yourself
with the API and review
these
resources. Begin gathering ideas and coding a little. Take advantage of the
Google+
Platform Office Hours on the 15th of February. If you have any questions, please
address them to us in our Google+ Hangout on February 23. Use the Hackathon to perfect your
application and win one of the multiple prizes we will be awarding - including a ticket for
the overall winning application to Google’s premiere developer event,
Google
I/O!
Any updates relating to these Hackathons and the Hangout
will be posted on Google+ (of course!) using the hashtag
#hackgplus. Stay tuned!
