At HackDay # 7, we divided the workshops into two streams: theoretical and practical. Theoretical were common to all participants, practical - the so-called. "Circles of interest." In a theoretical stream: Mikhail Kechinov from the Petersburg studio of the same name told how to make his project in 48 hours, Alexey Meandrov from InvestStartup told about the correct positioning when entering the market. Practical workshops were presented in the areas of augmented reality (RuCap company), virtual reality (Ar Door company, Inga Nachmanson), iOS programming (InRu, Shurik Babayev), work with Dynamic Data (Microsoft, Gaidar Magdanurov).
At the event, technical innovations were presented, and invited experts not only showed / told about them, but also gave the basics of programming for augmented and virtual reality, for the iPad. At future events we will also try to present interesting news and give the basics of programming.
We will take into account the criticism of the organization of the event expressed earlier in the TrendKlab blog.
