Hack the Tower - February 2013

An all day hackathon for the technical communities in London. Its a great chance to build apps with other developers and discovering how to get the most out of new technology and practices. Working together helps developers tackle technical challenges and techniques that are common regardless of language (github pull requests, using NoSQL data source, managing deployment, etc).

Rough Schedule
10.00am - Find the Salesforce office in Tower42, refreshments after your adventure
10.15am - Discuss your application ideas & how to build them.
10.45am - Split into groups and get going
12.30pm - Lunch time (sandwiches, queche, fruit and drinks provided)
01.00pm - Keep on hacking until you have had enough

Born out of a London Scala community hackathon (http://blog.jr0cket.co.uk/2012/10/london-scala-hackathon-powered-by-heroku.html), we now get members from Java, Clojure, forcedotcom and Scala development communities. Anything (legal) is up for grabs.

Previously, developers have discovered more about functional programming, Play2 framework, MongoDB, Travis-CI, Neo4j Heroku & Forcedotcom and much more.

Projects that have previously been worked on include

* a new website (http://lsug.org/) to manage the Scala community using play, mongodb and heroku. The site pulls in data from a range of sources

* building a clojure repl in a browser, discovering aspects such as clojail and compojure along the way

* an open source app for charity donation management

There has been interest in working on codingboard.org (http://codingboard.org/), a Java performance project and a robots framework in Java, Python or Clojure.

Important: Access details

Please ensure your full name is used when registering as this is needed by building security to let you in.

Finding the office in Tower42

As you enter Tower42, go to the front desk and give your name to receive a visitor pass for the building.

Go up the escalators to security, your bag will be quickly scanned and you pass through a metal detector.

Once through security, take the escalators immediately to your left - following the blue path. Walk all the way round to lifts and take the lift to the 24th floor.

At the 24th floor, get out of the lift and cross the hallway. Take the blue lifts to the 27th floor. Exiting the lift to your left you will find the Salesforce office
