Over the past year, the web
application ecosystem has been growing at an accelerating pace. Faster browsers and powerful
web platforms like HTML5 have enabled developers to switch from native code to web based apps.
That’s why the Google Chrome and Commerce teams are holding several
HTML5 Web App hackathons around the United States in early August. This is a great opportunity
for developers to socialize, network, and play with the latest web APIs. During the
hackathons, we'll cover the end-to-end process of developing an HTML5 application, publicizing
with Chrome Web Store, and
finally monetizing with In-App
Payments.
In true hackathon style, participants will have the
opportunity to create teams and work on a project together. At the end of the day,
participants will present what they have created, and vote on the best apps or games. And of
course we’ll have some awesome prizes for the winners.
The event is
free of charge but space is limited. For more information and to register, please visit the
location-specific links below:
We’re looking forward to seeing the applications and games you build!
