Hackathon - part of CASCON 2011

Day #1:

• met the team,
• got our challenge: a cross-platform(Android, Blackberry, iOS) mobile app for the Scott Mission (touching video),
• had lunch... yummy,
• discussed requirements and approaches,
• put pen to paper and came up with a wireframe for the app,
• tinkered with PhoneGap examples,
• given that the ladies from the Scott Mission were very interested in push notifications, we considered Urban Airship.

Tips & Tricks

1. Don't forget to switch to the openjdk if you're using the IBM jdk
   on Ubuntu sudo update-alternatives --config java is pretty neat!
2. Don't forget, to rotate the Android emulator in landscape mode, hit Ctrl+F12?
