The App Developers Conference in Santa Clara, CA on October 26-27 also has another event along with it - the App Dev Hackathon!

App Dev Hackathon and Bootcamp takes place October 27, 2011, 9 am – 8 pm at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The event is for developers working on mobile apps. Developers will learn new skills, build mobile apps, compete for prizes, meet people and find teammates for new or current projects. Not your traditional hack, AppDev Hackathon features hands on training classes on the latest technologies and trends that can help developers build better apps.

AppDev Hackathon is both for coding gurus and beginners, there is something for everyone. Those who have never developed an app before or new to APIs will be able to attend the mobile app beginner class and then tap into the experts for advice. Developers are welcome to enhance their existing app with one of the cool APIs or services or start a new app at the AppDev Hackathon. Both existing apps and new apps will be eligible for prizes.

Participants are welcome to bring a team that is all ready together and use the time to innovate or meet other developers and create a team onsite. Or, you are also welcome to work alone as well. Registration for the hackathon is free.
