A meet-up for programmers, web developers and designers to discuss and showcase their "£5 apps" - lightweight software created by one or two people who take a simple idea and run with it.
The discussion will range from technical (what tools/languages were used during development) to business (building communities, spreading the word, costs and rewards).
We'll be holding the demoing and judging for the 5K App competition (http://fivepoundapp.com/wiki/5kapp/ ), as well as dishing out a *prize* of 5120p (£51.20) for the best entry.
The idea behind the competition is to see what you can create with 5Kb of "code and resources". The summary of the rules being:
* The entire executable app (+ resources) must be 5120 bytes in size or less
* Use whatever language you want
* Net access is allowed, but you can't download more code
* No third party libraries/frameworks (except those installed by default)
* Apps will be judged on fun and/or usefulness
