HACKATHON

“A hackathon, a hacker neologism, is an event when programmers meet to do collaborative computer programming.” -Wikipedia

 

Not sure we can watch Dragon's Den, but GO JEN GO!!!!

 

SCRUM!!!!  Practice (tools) and Process (methodology)

Practices: Tools... ANYTHING!  

Wordpress, Axure,

Github issues/wiki,

Slack, others?

 

Processes: Agile!

TONIGHT

 

Code Walkthrough is a form of peer review in which a programmer leads the review process and the other team members ask questions and spot possible errors against development standards and other issues. The meeting is usually led by the author of the document under review and attended by other members of the team.

Templates on GitHub

  • maps and markers (cityvibes and taps & pours)
  • grid animation (#myvictoria)
  • counters and maps (cycle app!)
  • "walk throughs" and then PLAY!!!!

 

A small step but...

  • a good way to start, to get something small working!
  • down the road (next week) we can look at additional functionality
    • device vibration
    • sounds
    • calculating "proximity" 
      • time
      • space
  • the "data management and visualization" section will include
    • backend data organization
    • data analytics and more visualization!

 

thecodeplayer!

  • great examples there, but there is a trick to getting them to work for you locally!

 

<!--
    Two markers with two different icons!
    Based on the example here:
    http://www.w3schools.com/json/tryit.asp?filename=tryjson_create
    This creates an "event" that might look like something we get from another server!
    The data format is called "JSON" (JavaScript Object Notation)
