Brought to you by Fusion Room, the first Code Slingers Challenge will be a test of your mobile application development skills.
Pick your code building weapon of choice and show us what you can do with it; iPhone, windows, android, blackberry, we don’t care as long as you are ready for a showdown at high noon.
Come in as a “lone writer” or bring a posse of programmers totaling no more than four. Specific details of the challenge will not be released until the day of the competition so those not quick on the draw might want to sit this showdown out.
Circle your wagons and load up on supplies, title your team and get ready for a code slinging good time.
