Mash / hack at THATCamp Brisbane

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.
