Esri is sponsoring an internal developer hackathon. Use the new Data – Design – Develop pattern to build an ArcGIS Runtime app that shows best practices and what separates our technology from our competitors.
It’s not just about building fancy desktop or mobile apps, it’s about showing how to use our platform in a simple, clear way to solve a real-world problem. It should be targeted for people that are new to the ArcGIS platform, but have some knowledge of Geo and are good developers. You want your app to sell the platform! Ultimately, we would like to use the app you create as showcase/model apps on the developers site.
