Facebook Developers Workd HACK in Barcelona - Best Twilio API integration prize


A team of geeks from Cossette (me and three colleagues, Maxime Gagné, Ugo Tessier and Doruk Vardaryildiz) participated to an international event organized by Facebook in Barcelona, Spain: Developers World HACK.
Facebook Developer HACKs are day-long coding events where developers are given time to work on new social apps, solo or in groups, with Facebook engineers on hand to support and answer questions. It is also a wonderful opportunity to meet with other developers from around the world.
Our experts have already developed tons of Facebook applications and platforms, so we were confident that we would produce a spectacular application during the event. Everybody worked hard and quickly, so it was really intense, but at the same time we had a lot of fun. It was a real geek party: food, nice ambient music and a lot of code, working really hard at the end to put everything together, than present what we accomplished during the day.
We were very pleased to be awarded one of the seven prizes. We won the best Twilio API integration award. Twilio powers the future of business communications, enabling phones, VoIP, and messaging to be embedded into web, desktop, and mobile software.
