Yahoo! opens up its APIs for the UPDCS

On the 10th of October, the UP Department of Computer Science, in partnership with Yahoo! will be holding the "Yahoo! Mini-Hack Event". Yahoo! will 'officially' open up their APIs on October 1 just for the UPDCS. Here, we will get the chance to develop our own application and embed it to one of the web applications of Yahoo! like Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger, Flickr, etc. Then on the 10th, Yahoo! Vice President for Product Strategy, Mr. Bradley Horowitz, will come over to our department to award the best application that has been created and probably use it.

Haay..it's really a privilege for us, UPDCS students, to get this opportunity, especially from a prestigious company like Yahoo!. Imagine, if you win the contest, your web application will be seen and be used by millions of people! And do you know that this is the first time that Yahoo! will be holding this kind of event in the Philippines? And they chose the UPDCS for this first-ever event! Super opportunity talaga so let us not waste it. Okie?
