I’ll be Jury during Code Challenge 2013

20130705-mobile

I’ll be jury during the coming Code Challenge 2013, to be held this week-end, 6-7 July 2013, in the premises of the Ebène Accelerator.

Team of participants  will need to create a mobile application during a 24-hour time span (a prototype). The theme will be communicated on the day of the competition. Participants will develop for iOS, Android, Windows Phone or Blackberry. At the end of the competition, participants will need to present a demo of their app in front of a panel and members of the panel, which includes yours truly, will choose one of the teams as the winner!

Good luck to everyone. Have a lot of fun. And, most importantly, surprise us!!!

    Hello Avinash,

    Please share about this event – what happened during these 2 days, what were the coding challenges, etc.

    Thx

    Dear Nadim,

    Thanks for asking. I was in the group of who had as mission to judge the 14 teams who had built a mobile app in 24 hours and it was a very interesting experience for us. Most of the apps were of good quality but I think that some of them tried to do too much. People forget that mobile apps generally do one thing, but they do it well. I also noticed that some of the apps lacked originality.

    I’m happy Mauritius Telecom took the initiative to organise such a competition. This provides opportunities for people like us, especially the younger ones, to show their skills. Interestingly, the event took place within an Incubator. I hope this will convince people to create their own businesses instead of joining those big development firms…

    Hello Avinash. Exactly, that’s what I was thinking. A mobile app isn’t supposed to have tons of features. It’s an app anyway not a distribution. You focus on one thing that it’s ought to deliver.

    It was a great experience to be there though.
