The central theme of this latest event was hackathons, specifically the Summer of Hacks London event run by Salesforce last month. A presentation was given by the local Bristol team from Desynit behind the winning entry, an app called "Accident Alert". The app built at the hackathon used the Salesforce1 platform to provide users with the ability to record potential health and safety hazards around the workplace.
The open panel discussion included the three core members of the team (Matthew Morris, Shaun Holmes and myself), and covered how the team went about building the application, how we stayed sane through all night development sessions (coffee and chicken burgers), and the lessons we learned about good application development.
This presentation wasn't just about the winning entry though, it was primarily about the experience of participating in hackathons, why they rock, the amazing people who attend and how everyone should sign up to them in the future. It's not all about technical expertise and being able to write code, it's all about identifying a potential new application or tool that is of genuine use to Salesforce users, and creating a prototype to fit that bill.
Here is the slide deck from the event:
Continuing on the theme of hacks and development, we were also honored to have a special project presentation by our youngest ever presenter Dara Morris, who presented a highly addictive jet fighter game he recently developed at a hack event. It seems the future of development is bright in the Bristol area!

The parents failed, and unfortunately it is the child that pays the price. Money is no measure of a person. It is how he or she treats others! All people are responsible for what they do and say at all times. A Hispanic American, I don find it at all, wrote Will Jiminez.
