If you have a great idea for an app that plays with images in fun and useful ways, there's a hackathon coming up that is built for you. Our good friends at Aviary are hosting the Photo Hack Day 2 in New York City 25-26 February, and we’re excited to be the headline sponsor. Aviary is the company behind the incredibly powerful but simple photo editor which can be embedded in any web or mobile app for a beautiful, seamless editing experience wherever you are. If you can join us in New York, you'll be among the first developers to use a pre-release version of the new Aviary SDK for Windows Phone 7.
Almost all the ingredients for some great hacks await you in New York.
The combination of this SDK, the great user experience that Windows Phone 7 OS provides and the best in class hardware from Nokia should result in some amazing apps. All that's missing is you, your skills, and your creativity. We’re looking to you to hack together some kick-ass apps that make your friends and family go “wow”! We’ll provide Nokia Lumia 800 smartphones as prizes to the top two teams who create Windows Phone 7 apps using the Aviary SDK for Windows Phone 7.
The hacking is happening at General Assembly, a great location for hosting events in New York City. Bill Perry from Nokia and an expert team from Microsoft will be there to answer questions about Nokia’s latest smartphones, imaging, and designing apps using the Metro UI.
Need inspiration? How about these starter ideas:
If you need more inspiration, take a look at the other great APIs with expert support at the event. We look forward to seeing what you hack together during this 24 hour event.
