Why you should come at the next Blitzweekend

By Heri Mar 10th 2011 in Events, hackmtl

If you are a developer, here’s why you should come to the next Blitzweekend, this Saturday March 12th

First and foremost, finally deliver & build something tangible, at the end of the day
Learn how to develop quickly, and learn how to focus. If you are looking for intense experiences, then it’s the event you need to look forward to!
Meet other great developers, as committed as you are
Learn & share from the group, by presenting current problems or discuss about new knowledge
And leverage the power of the group, since we’re aiming to build a mutually supportive group, to help each other grow and help each other’s project

I’ve had also many emails on what’s the scope for the day, and you can do any project, as long as you start & finish in the day. So it can be one feature of a bigger application, an algorithm, a 4-hour startup… all are good, as long as you have something to show and share at the end of the day.

The details are here (date & times, plus location). Please read the info and register. If you are coming, there are chances that you also know other developers & entrepreneurs who would like the event.

You don't have anything better to do on a Saturday morning at 9am anyways, so just get out of bed!
This is the perfect way to start your w-e.
Spend some time for yourself, coding on something fun.
Once you're done, you still have your whole Saturday afternoon and evening. Do it!!!
