Programmers, developers, designers across the industry and students from top-tech universities will gather at Hyderabad for a 2-day hacking event. For the first time, Yahoo! Hack India is being organised in Cyber city, Hyderabad. This will be Yahoo's first event in India hosted outside Bangalore. These hackers will now participate in the two-day event which brings forth a series of technical workshops, followed by a nonstop 24-hour coding Hackathon on July 13 and 14. The two-day event involves a hacking competition using a great collection of new web tools, services and geo-location and Flickr APIs (Application Programmable Interface). Hackers team up to turn their ideas into working prototype, or hack, as it's called in just 24 hours. It gives developers a chance to work together and build applications and product ideas using market-leading technologies.
Yahoo! Open Hack was started as an internal event in 2006 at Yahoo! headquarters in Sunnyvale, US with an aim to bring Yahoo! developers together. So far, Open Hack has been hosted in seven countries with representation over 30 countries. This year Yahoo! is planning to host another event in Bangalore too. So watch out for this!
