Creators of Zimki Offer Developers a Chance to Showcase Their Skills.
Fotango UK, a leading creator of software solutions for
professional developers, has today announced the launch of a web application
design competition aimed at developers. The Zimki Application Design
Competition has been launched to encourage web developers and application
designers to build original web 2.0 applications using the Zimki JavaScript
application development platform.
Zimki is a pay as you go, end to end JavaScript web
application development platform that takes away the repetitive tasks
encountered when creating web applications. Setting up a server, security and
backups are done automatically, enabling developers to get on with doing what
they enjoy: developing applications.
Developers will be able to tap into Zimki's full API to create
standalone applications or 'Mash-ups' integrating multiple web services. The
prize pool for the competition includes an all expenses paid trip to the
emerging technology conference (Etech '07) in San Diego, California; plus a
high spec Apple MacBook Pro.
Additional prizes include a second prize of a top of the range
MacBook Pro and five runners up prizes of Apple Mac Minis. According to Koby
Amedume, Chief Marketing Officer for Fotango, "The application design
competition is a fantastic opportunity for developers out there to put into
practice those ideas for cool apps floating around their head". He added "The
winning developers and their applications will be promoted heavily by
Fotango, and their name, skills and abilities will be showcased in front of
some of the most influential people in the industry!"
The competition will run until 31st January 2007, and Fotango
have put together a heavyweight panel of independent judges from both the UK
and the United States to select the winning entries. These include Brady
Forrest of O'Reilly Radar, Ryan Carson of Carson Systems, Simon Willison of
Yahoo!, Adny Budd - author of CSS Mastery and John Musser of
ProgrammableWeb.com.
