,,No, no! The adventures first, explanations take such a dreadful time.” – Lewis Carroll
No explanations, we promise, just adventure. So what are these guys trying to sell to me you wonder? Actually nothing. Instead we offer you a challenge. You’re probably thinking, ,,now what the hell is this c!@# they’re ranting on about?”. Read on, the power of the puppy cuteness compels you. Now seriously, continue on, we’ll show you something.
As a mobile dev you’re going to build a mobile app anyway. Why not do it in style and go to Barcelona while you’re at it? The Mobile World Congress (25-28 february 2013) is the biggest, greatest and coolest event of the year in the mobile world.
To this end we thought we would hold a contest (or challenge if you prefer), in which you’ll develop a native app and win / earn a ticket to the crème de la crème happening of the mobile year.
Basically you have to build a multiplatform native mobile app using our markup languange – Ignite Markup . Ignite Markup is just simple XML, but you’ll soon see that it gives you the freedom to create custom, rich mobile experiences in virtually no time. You can use any programming language to create IgniteMarkup files that define how your app looks and behaves. So you can put your skills to the test in the code of your choice.
And if you’re a PHP connoisseur, we also offer an open-source MVC PHP framework for creating mobile apps: DolphinPHP. And there you have it . We offer you the tools , you leverage your existing programming skills and build an app that’s going to take you to Barcelona.
Why go to MWC 2013 ?
Besides the 70,000 attending companies, developers, thought-leaders, marketing pioneers, tech innovators….hmmm. Let’s see. Countless square miles of cutting edge tech exhibitions, workshops, good food, dozens of tents for all the major players in the mobile world. We’re not stopping here. You’ll meet developers from around the world and you can pick their brain when it comes to their solution for building and creating stunning mobile software.
And if not going to Barcelona seems good enough for you, we’ll also give you a 6 month free subscription to Appscend’s silver package so you can actually publish your app – a total worth of 1600 USD! We’ll also feature your app at Appscend’s stand at MWC, and that’s invaluable
Even if you’re not a developer, fret not. You can complete our 5 minute survey and can win one ticket to MWC 2013. And even if you’re not interested at all, then use this occasion to ask your mobile dev friends if they’re interested in going to the greatest mobile convention of the year and they’ll be indebted to you for life.
So…if you’re still quite unconvinced in joining us on our journey to MWC 2013 we’re also going to bring cupcakes. I mean, come on! Cupcakes!
