Join us for the first ever Corona SDK Hackathon!

Brought to you by Ansca Mobile, InMobi and PapayaMobile

Over $5000 in cash and prizes!

Overview:

Corona SDK is the best framework for developing rich, cross-platform mobile apps - perfectly suited to a hackathon where participants need to develop something powerful quickly! Through its LaunchPad partners, including InMobi, Corona enables developers to effectively monetize and distribute their apps.

If you are new to Corona, this is a great opportunity to try it out! If you are a Corona veteran, well, you already know how fun this event will be.

This full day hackathon will give participants (on location and virtually) the opportunity to learn about mobile development, network and win great prizes. Participants will learn about the power of Corona from the team that developed it and will have an opportunity to win great prizes. InMobi and PapayaMobile representatives will also be on hand to educate developers on their SDKs and functionality.
