What is a hacknight?

Hacknight is a space where you can work on your pet project, try a new idea or test the waters of new tools, technologies and languages. At hacknights, you meet new people, make friends and network. Overall, a hacknight is an amazing, hands-on learning experience.

HasGeek's hacknights provide developers the opportunity to work in an easy, relaxed, peer-to-peer format, over a period of 12-20 hours.

Hacknights are open to developers at varying skill levels. State your background clearly in the application form so that we are better able to understand your goals and expectations.

JSFoo Hacknight

JSFoo is a series of events on JavaScript organized by HasGeek. JSFoo has been growing in popularity with each edition.

The theme of JSFoo Bangalore 2012 edition is "JavaScript Everywhere", on mobile, desktop, server and embedded devices. JavaScript is evolving continuously and rapidly, making it possible to implement the wildest of ideas that you may have. We therefore want to learn what others out there are doing with JS.

We welcome you to the JSFoo hacknight where you can develop ideas and projects overnight with JavaScript. You can also explore new tools, libraries and frameworks like Yeoman, PhantomJS and AngularJS.

Mentors will be present at the JSFoo hacknight, helping you work your ideas and minds with some guidance, and a little bit of a push.

You can also work with experts from Microsoft and build rich apps for Windows8 and with folks from Active Sphere on node.js and some of their ongoing projects.  Dip your feet into the deep waters (and travails) of JavaScript.

So take your idea and turn it into a first-cut implementation in one night, and get the guidance of other JS geeks while you are at it!

Next steps:

  1. Register for the hacknight. You will receive a confirmation from us about whether your application has been accepted.

  2. Propose a project idea, and/or join a team.

  3. Comment on other projects.

  4. Come to the hacknight with your gear - laptop, smartphones, iPods, cables, and what have you!
