Hackathon and Twilio Prizes

The Cloudstock hackathon brings together developers interested in dozens of different cloud-based technologies. Developers are challenged to combine at least 2 presenting technologies into a brand new app, for the chance to win some awesome prizes.

Use Twilioforce, an open source APEX library for combining Twilio and Force.com, to get started with your app. The library was built by our friends at Appirio! You can also find them at Cloudstock and Dreamforce this week. Check out this blog post on the Appirio developer blog to get started.

You could win the ReadWriteWeb Data Visualization Award – get featured on ReadWriteWeb if you are one of the 3 finalists chosen
