- Where do I start?
- A good hack starts with an idea…
- Build something you will use yourself
- Show us what can be built using the systems we (and others) offer.
- http://developer.yahoo.com
- http://www.github.com/
- To build a typical web hack you need data, access and an interface
- Yahoo! has opened up its data
- Search (BOSS), Flickr, Geo, Social, Mail, Messenger …
- And so have others
- Programmable web lists 9810 APIs in their API directory Twitter, Facebook, Google, …
- To access these you can use YQL
- YQL is a SQL-Like Language that lets you …
- … filter, combine, tweak data across hundreds of Web Services. http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console
- Data however is not enough.
- You also need working interfaces
- Technologies are easy: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Making it work on all browsers and OS is tricky
- YUI
- http://developer.yahoo.com/yui
- Presenting your hack
- Do not show us slides about your hack
- Instead show us what you have done
- Technical glitches happen
- Have a plan-B
- Have a Plan B • Record screencast • Do not depend on the internet • Keep your stuff ready in the browser • Rehearse the demo with atleast one crew member before hand
- And once you are done
- And once you are done • Keep your hack live for others to see • Show other hackers what you have done • Publish your code in Github • Let us know and we can help you to take it even further!
- Don’t limit yourself to your favorite toys
- A good hack doesn’t need to be a big thinghttp://www.flickr.com/photos/capricorndragon/4000384412/
- Don’t look for features. Concentrate on one thing Don’t look to solve everything
- You only have 24 hours
- Find things that already work And put them together
- Innovation has no limits
- Go Hack !!! Have Fun
