Hackathon Openfights Codility

Hi, Habr!

September 16 and 17 in Moscow will host the hackathon Open Fights Codility . He is organized by our friends from Discovery, and we, Redmadrobot, will monitor the mobile direction, help the teams and evaluate them as one of the jury members.



At the first online stage, you need to come up with a cool solution for retail customers of the bank. This could be a banking assistant, a tool for automatic billing, or something completely different. The main condition is that the application solves the client’s problem and improves its interaction with the bank’s products.



Teams with the best ideas and profile on GitHub will go to the “Workstation” for a two-day mega-intensive hackathon, where they will write a real working mobile or web application on their idea, using one of the suggested languages ​​and secret API of the bank.

The jury will evaluate the projects in terms of the quality and scalability of the idea, the quality of the code and the chosen architecture.

With the developers and executives from Redmadrobot (If you haven’t heard of these, these are the guys who headed the 4 rankings this year ) and other worthy representatives of the industry.



The winners will receive prizes from us, “Netologii”, “Workstation”, “Electronic Cloud”, JetBrains and other partners of the hackathon.
