| Hackathons serve five main purposes in the world: | |
| 1. To get the host(s) some combination of recognition and/or money (i.e., from sponsors).* | |
| 2. To get participants some combination of jobs, investors, friends and/or co-founders. | |
| 3. To provide enjoyable challenges in a community setting that help people learn new skills -- while having fun! | |
| 4. To help sponsors (and hosts in some cases) lure developers into trying their awesome tools -- and providing feedback on them through challenges/contests (think a Twilio award for the best use of their API). | |
| 5. To help companies find developers to join their companies (think Google puts up a prize around wearable computing because they are looking to hire developers who are passionate about this space). | |
| That’s why these events are thriving: they provide a massive amount of value for everyone involved. |

Some ST2 and OSX time savers that I use (as of the first night of Dev Bootcamp). Boosting the productivity of a total novice, give 'em a spin.
