Advanced’s annual 24-hour Hackathon takes place this year on 2/3 July! Individuals come together to form teams around a problem or idea, and compete to develop the best solution – from scratch. This year there are three categories; MyWorkplace Applets, APIs in Motion and The Testathon. A great chance to exercise creativity and implement new concepts, we can’t wait to see what this year produces!
