Hackathon challenges Davao developers to build apps for disaster recovery

Davao-based developers are set to create web and mobile applications for disaster recovery to boost efforts to help areas ravaged by Supertyphoon Yolanda.

Davao-based developers are set to create web and mobile applications for disaster recovery to boost efforts to help areas ravaged by Supertyphoon Yolanda.

The developers will “Hack2Help” at AngelHack Davao, an overnight coding marathon to be held from November 23 to 24 at the PLDT-Smart Ponciano business office.

“The developer community is one with the Filipino nation in its desire to help Yolanda survivors get back on their feet. In the many hackathons that we have organized and sponsored since 2012, we have seen many developers creating a wide variety of apps that contribute to social good. Now they will use their skills to support rebuilding efforts in the Visayas,” said Paul Pajo, developer evangelist of wireless services leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart).

The company’s developer community program, Smart Developer Network (Smart DevNet), organized AngelHack Davao which is part of the global AngelHack program. The said program will gather 6,000 developers in more than 30 cities all over the world to build a stronger developer ecosystem.
