Square, Getaround, Temple Run, OAuth, Apple’s TestFlight, Oracle’s Pushio — each of these have foundations at Developer Camp. Learn how they came together, the patterns of their success, and how to follow the same path yourself.

Inclusion

A combination of community support network, open-source co-op, and a vibrant idea contest ignite the imagination of hundreds of designers and makers over a 48 hour event. It’s the best hackathon you’ll ever experience.

Day 1: Team Up

Organization

Around since one week after the iPhone launch in 2007, we have grown to become the most inclusive, diverse group of technology specialists in the world. Everyone gets a chance to pitch, and no one needs to work alone.

Day 2: Cooperate

Cooperation

Many developer events are either information-only, or competition-only. Our events are a combination of ad-hoc teaching and project-based learning, with the help of everybody. Our mentors and experts come from everywhere.

Day 3: Compete

Competition

Our idea contest is the most prolific and successful hackathon in Silicon Valley. After 48 hours of organization and work, anyone can showcase their idea and become eligible for thousands of dollars in prizes and prestige.

Call It Camping

Space

We set up our venues to ensure ergonomics and a feeling of trust and community. It is a timeless way of building, informed by years of study in the patterns of people rapidly making software: plenty of WiFi and good food.
