For those of you wo attended the MySpace Developer Platform launch event in London, we wanted to let you know about an upcoming OpenSocial hackathon event also in London.

This Sunday, the 6th of April, come jump into some code and learn how to get OpenSocail apps up and running on MySpace and other containers. Engineers from MySpace and Google will be on hand to help walk through code examples, and help you build your applications. This is a great opportunity to get started building OpenSocial applications.

BT has graciously volunteered to host this event at BT Centre, 81 Newgate Street. London EC1A 7AJ, just across from St. Paul's tube station, and we hope to see you there

The event will start at 11am and go as long as people can still type. The event is totally free and of course, and of course there will also be sufficient quantities of beer and pizza.

The day will kick off with a morning of tutorial and workshop sessions led by the senior architects of the MySpace Developer Platform. They will walk you step-by-step through the process of creating a MySpace App. You will follow them from creating the initial account on the site to cutting the code with the API hooks and finally to uploading your app to MySpace!

devJamin'

After a break for lunch we'll open the space up for app hacking. Feel free to kick off a new app at the event or bring your existing project along to continue developing. Code on your own or collaborate with others - it's up to you. MySpace developers will be on hand to answer all your questions.

Breakout sessions

During the afternoon we'll also run ad-hoc breakout sessions led by MySpace developers on any of the aspects of the platform you have questions about.

Show-n-tell

At the end of the event we'll offer everyone the opportunity to take part in the show-n-tell session. Over a cold beer and a slice of pizza, of course! Those who have something to show will be able to demo their app at the end of the event. Or alternatively you can complete your app at home, and come back to one of the regular follow-up 'show-n-tell evening sessions' that we'll be holding soon after.

There may even be a prize or two for the most promising app(s) built during the event!

PLACES ARE LIMITED! Book soon if you want to join us for one of the days. But please, for the benefit of the wider developer community, please only book if you know you can make it - so that we can have as many developers at possible at the event!
