It's been a little while since I wrote the last post, but some interesting events have happened. Last weekend I attended my first hackathon - DevelopHer, organized by LinkedIn. It was a 24-hour event for women developers, and it was a great experience. And big thanks to organizers who provided the space and opportunity for people to participate.
Our team worked on creating an app on farmers' markets and fruits and vegetables that would be available from a market. The idea was to allow a user to search for nearest farmer markets by zipcode, and to browse the goodies that the markets would offer. Other options would include the recipes of foods that could be made from fruits and vegetables. The app was built with Python and Django framework.
We didn't finish the app but our team plans on working on it. I expect the results to be awesome.
I did learn a lot from the hackathon. It was great to work with Django, since I've never used it before. I found that Rails experience helped me to catch on Django quickly. I have new friends and a team to work with on future projects. Certainly looking forward to more hackathons.
