Are you interested in developing applications that leverage APIs for one of the largest portfolios of technology assets on the planet? Verizon technology include Wireless, Wireline, SDN, NFV, Cloud, Machine-to-Machine (M2M), Internet of things (IoT), Content Delivery Network (CDN), Go90, AOL and MapQuest.
We are hosting an intense hackathon for developers to innovate with APIs that leverage mapping, communication networks, IoT, multimedia, and advertising networks. Participation is free, but space is limited. All participants will get serious swag and we’ll be giving away some great bonus prizes. We’ll also have experts on hand in case you have any questions and demos will be available for you to experience our current applications/platforms.
Included in the hackathon is a complimentary DreamFactory developer sandbox. The sandbox instance is prepopulated with REST APIs for key Verizon assets.
