Last weekend the DeveloperWeek Hackathon took place in San Francisco. It’s a big hackathon with 500 developers and more than 30 different sponsors who run their separate challenges. IBM sponsored the IBM Bluemix Challenge where developers could win prizes with a total value of $6000.
Below are some pictures from the hackathon. I’ll blog separately about the winning projects.
The DeveloperWeek organizers and the sponsors describe the logistics of the hackathon.
