On your mark! Get set! Hack! Splunk is hosting a hackathon at Seed Philly on Wednesday, March 6 from 4-9pm, after SplunkLive Philadelphia. This hackathon gives developers a chance to build applications that make it easier and more effective to gain insights from machine data with Splunk.
Have you heard of Splunk, but don’t know how to get started using the product to build cool data mashups? Come and join! Splunk will provide food, beer and Splunk experts to help you get started. All skill levels are welcome. Join us whether you are a black belt Splunk ninjas or new to Splunk and wanting to apply your coding skills to build data apps.
Thanks much to Seed Philly for partnering with us as a location sponsor for this event! The Splunk Hackathon will be held at Seed Philly, a local coworking space as well as startup incubator/accelerator, located conveniently in the heart of Center City at 1650 Arch St (right above Suburban Station).
Attending the hackathon is a great way to grow and show your skills, meet other Splunk developers, and to build cool things! Rumor has it Mark Headd, The Chief Data Officer of the City of Philadelphia, will be in attendance hacking away on some cool projects.
