Web Dev Challenge

Web Dev Challenge is a series I produce that's kind of like The Great British Bake Off for web devs. I bring 4 developers together in my Portland, OR studio and give them a unique challenge, complete with a specific tool they need to use to complete it. Each dev has 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build a complete web app, which they then demo at the end of the day. The series creates a fun, supportive atmosphere to learn new technology and showcase work to the community in a safe, constructive way.
