About This Event

Please join us on January 29th 2011 for a Chromium Hackathon in Ottawa. 
  • Learn about HTML5
    • The event will include training on the major features of Chromium!
    • Including all the juicy stuff about HTML5
    • The awesome Chrome Extensions API and Chrome Web Store
    • Google Chrome enthusiasts will be on hand to help and to answer questions throughout the day. 

  • Build with Us or Build Your Own 
    • Throughout the day, we will be building a complete HTML5 applicatio and sharing the code with you so you can code along with us. If, on the other hand, you already have a great idea for what to build, bring that idea with you to the hackathon. Even better, bring along anything you can prepare ahead of time (sketches, designs, webpage mockups, etc.) and use the time and information provided to develop your idea into a working application, then share it with the world. 
    • At the end of the day, we'll invite you to share your Chrome HTML5 application with the group. 

  • What Do I Need? 
    • We will provide facilities, power, food, refreshments, and experts to help you learn to use Chromium and write your HTML5 application. Just bring your laptop, ideas, and enthusiasm to complete the mix.
