Mash / hack at THATCamp Brisbane » Proceedings of THATCamp

Interested in mashing up data to produce interactive maps, timelines, visualisations, web or mobile apps? THATCamp Brisbane will include a hackathon stream running all day (10:30 – 4:45) in Lab 2 at The Edge.

Got an idea for a mashup / app but need help building it? Or are you a developer with some expertise to share, a DH app to show off, or looking for new ideas and people to collaborate with?

We’ll be running tutorials throughout the day, as well as providing hands-on help to get started with building your own mashups and apps.

Topics that may be covered (depending on demand) include:

Cleaning up data sets using Google Refine
Creating data visualisations with Gephi
Data visualisation and mashup using Google Fusion Tables
Using Yahoo Pipes
Getting started with the Trove API
Introduction to programming
Creating mobile web apps
… or suggest your own topics!

Drop in any time during the day to join in the fun, but don’t forget to bring a laptop so you can take part.
