  • Heri October 07, 2011

    hackathon is a mix of “hacking” (programming) and a “marathon” (non-stop event where you put all of your efforts)

    So what you will see is a group of developers working non-stop, for hours and hours. Generally at the end, the group celebrates what they’ve done during the event.
