Workshop #149: Code for Philly-Duck Duck Go Mashup

Join us at our weekly workshop to learn about technology, sharpen your skills, and help Philly at the same time! There are ample opportunities for people with any skill set and experience level to have an impact. Check out our website for a list of active projects (http://codeforphilly.org (http://codeforphilly.org/)) or just stop by and ask for a captain to help you get started.

This week we'll be hacking on the Duck Duck Go (http://duckduckgo.com) and their "Instant Answers" feature to include Code for Philly projects. They're also our sponsors for this workshop:] Feel free to give em a shout @duckduckgo and tag us (@codeforphilly) so we can see the amazing stuff you come up with!
