Who is Iron Coder?
Some of you might be new to Iron Coder. What’s it all about?
<
p> It’s a chance for Mac programmers to strut their stuff. Show off what you know, or more realistically, what you’re capable of knowing within 24 hours. Are you a quick learner? A badass programmer? Really? Prove it.
<
p> Iron Coder gives ambitious Mac programmers a chance to take an API and a theme, and run with it. Within 24 hours of learning these pieces of the puzzle, who will come up with the most kick-ass demo? Nobody knows. It might be you.
What can you get good at… quickly? If you’re an expert Mac OS X developer, you might have an easy time, or you might not. The API could be something you’re intimitely aware with, or may present a steep learning curve. And if you’re completely new to the platform? It’s worth paying attention, maybe your experience from other lands will prove helpful here.
Iron Coder is about being resourceful with what’s given to us. Just like the “Iron Chef” television show from which this contest takes its name, the idea is to make the most out of what you have. If you’ve got an inspired vision and a weekend to burn, perhaps you’ll be the next Iron Coder. If not, kick back and watch the rubber burn… we’ll be cooking!
