[TechRepublic] Locationally takes out SAPI hackathon

TechRepublic Australia Wrapper TechRepublic Member | April 04, 2012

Editor's note Hello again, and welcome to the pre-Easter edition of the Wrapper. This week we wrapped up two ongoing stories: the first was the completion of the SAPI hackathon and how its winner Eric Bae took home a $10,000 investment for his Locationally project; and the second was a review of the options available for programmers wishing to create Android applications on their Android devices. It's not something that I'd recommend as a primary method of development, but for a quick fix or moment of inspiration on the road, it can definitely be done. Hope you have a great set of seven days coming up and we'll return next week. -- Chris Locationally takes out SAPI hackathon Eight days and 14 applications later, an app focusing on the best location to open new businesses takes home a $10,000 investment.
