Mendix World 2016 Hackathon Challenges Developers to Build Cutting-Edge IoT Apps in 24 Hours
Mendix,
a leading application Platform-as-a-Service (aPaaS) provider, today
announced details of a 24-hour, IoT-themed hackathon at Mendix World
2016, which will take place June 7-8 at the Van Nelle Factory in
Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The hackathon is being sponsored by Mendix
partner KPN (News - Alert).
The Mendix World 2016 Hackathon will challenge small teams to build
working Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Apps in just 24 hours. There will
be several IoT use cases for developers to choose from, including an
event app that leverages sensor data collected at Mendix World plus real
customer scenarios to be announced shortly. To facilitate rapid
connectivity and deployment, participants will have access to the KPN
LoRa Network, a long-range network for connecting low-energy, low-data
devices, plus one-click deployment on AWS.
Beginning on June 6th, teams will build applications over a
24-hour period at the Van Nelle Factory. An estimated 60 Mendix
developers are expected to participate, with teams competing for prizes
in Professional and Student categories. Audience (News - Alert) voting will take place
via the Mendix World event app and the winners will be announced during
the plenary closing remarks.
"At our last Mendix World hackathon, I was blown away by the
sophisticated apps both professional and student developers could build
in only 24 hours. It really illustrates the power of the platform," said
Derek Roos, CEO and co-founder of Mendix. "This year, we're excited to
push the limits of what's possible with the Internet of Thngs. I look
forward to seeing how the teams take advantage of connected devices and
the data they generate to rapidly build innovative Smart Apps with
Mendix."
