Last year I was pretty bitter about the hackathon. This year, I think the event will be better. Andrew Barnes and Brad Tilton are running this event. As I understand it these are the details;
First lets go over what you'll get out of this.
- You will learn how to build whatever it is you're building. So if you want to try out the new now-experience, here's your time to shine.
- You will likely form a team and make better bonds with those on it.
- You might win one the five categories, if you do you'll get $500 USD, or $5,000 USD for your team.
- ServiceNow may feature your work in some content sent out to people who want that kind of stuff.
