Our second mobile developers talk was great – we had Andy Cheung come and show off Microsoft Surface and the apps developed in HK, Ada Yuen show us DIY usability testing for your app and Ernest Chan talk about how he developed Patalogue.
Thanks to all the speakers for making it a great night of learning – though it seems the general consesnus is that the Ubuntu OS is DOA.
See you next month!
Our good friend Michael Michellini (@michelini) put on the 4th Startup Weekend Shenzhen and we were there to grab some photos.
The venue was at 3WCoffee in High-Tech Park about 30-minutes from the Lo Wu border and is the Silicon Valley of Shenzhen with a massive Tencent building (Their international headquarters) as well as IT schools.
The turnout was massive for the event and 13 teams pitched from Shenzhen and a few from Hong Kong. The winner was Mappiness with their app on finding the happy places near you using your smartphone – like bars, restaurants and other gatherings. They won an iPad and US$2000 a month for 1 year in SoftLayer hosting credit.
Congrats to Micheal and his team for hosting a great event!
Stay tuned here for the next one: http://shenzhen.startupweekend.org/
