DevCup 2014, Hackers' World Cup

If there's FIFA World Cup, Developers have their own Hacker's Cup That's WebGeekPH's DevCup. This year, it's all  happening on August 16-17 at the Meralco Multi-Purpose Hall.

Presented by WebGeek Philippines, DevCup is already on its 3rd Year of gathering, challenging, harnessing, and recognizing Filipino developers and  hackers in creating that ultimate app that can possibly end current challenges and problems of today's digital world.

Last year there were 62 teams  and 200+ attendees who participated in DevCup 2013. How many do you think will participate for this year's DevCup Challenge?

So what is DevCup? Basically it's a Hackathon. A 2-day event where developers take it to the next level.  Year after year, DevCup's goal is to further reinforce the commitment in showcasing the Filipino talent in Information Technology. The continuous change of challenges to reflect the current trends that makes the Philippines abundant in terms of talents and skills.

DevCup according to the Pros!

"DevCup is the most prestigious hackathon in the Philippines to date" Nikko Bautista, LinkedIn Software Engineer, DevCup 2012 champion. 

 "One of my proudest moments as a developer is winning DevCup", Mark Steve Samson, Insync Engineer, DevCup 2013 champion.

"With this we are able to tell the world that we can adapt to new technologies as it happen and be able to use those in developing cutting edge apps" John Arce, the Founder of WebGeek said.

Yes, DevCup, may sound geeky to some, but DevCup is where Developers gather and battle, showcasing skills not only in coding but also how it should work and be used in a real environment.
