Foursquare held their first Hackathon/Hack Day on Saturday (the 19th) at General Assembly, and a whole bunch of NYC nerdtrepeneurackers (including half of Team Socialbomb) turned out to tinker. Hell of a day they set up.
Team Foursquare worked with the GA folks to set everyone up with an amazing space, and gave us plenty of inspiration, food, and caffeinated beverages. Naveen and the other 4sq tech wizards walked us through some of the new API functionality, best practices, and proper examples, and kept tabs on the folks there to hack things.
A bunch of us Socialbomb-type-folk went to the Foursquare Hackathon on Saturday, and made some fun stuff. We did a lil’ writeup on the Socialbomb Engineering blog, which we’ll update with specifics of how we made the app, and more examples when we’re ready to turn our idea loose.
Oh, and did we mention that we have an engineering blog? Well, we have an engineering blog set up now, which we’ll be posting to with information about our technology and the things we make, use, and just enjoy. You should check it out!
