HackingEAST – API’s for Art Results

 Hacking EAST APIs for Art Results

• The Hackathon was completed on Sunday, and the
  results were really amazing and thought
  provoking.
•  
• Although only two teams submitted final projects,
  they were both extremely high quality.
•  
• What was clear was that either of these apps
  would achieve the goals
•  
• We would help active directory single sign on and
  work to a much larger community through social
  networking especially artists who are not in one
  of the major art hubs.
•  
• We would help artists sell more of their work.
•  
• We would make the East Tour more user friendly
  for patrons (and significantly lower the
  transactions costs to find and purchase art)

It was an unfortunately difficult job picking one
of the apps to win. I worked closely with both
teams over the preceding three weeks, so I know
how hard they all worked.   Ive asked the other
participants to also record a demo of their
app.   Where to go from here? With this
successful Hackathon, I think were one step
closer to having a killer app for the next
tour!   One of the apps was a native app, and one
of the apps was HTML5. They were different, but
both excellent. In the end, we picked the HTML5
app as the winner because it had a slightly
simpler user interface, and its use of
bookmarking to help patrons remember art and
identity provider saml.   Article
