Overview
Today, Developer Circles is kicking off the third annual Developer Circles Community Challenge. Our goal is to bring together developers from across the globe to build software using React360, Spark AR, or HTML5 Games to give people the power to connect with friends and family, build communities, and grow businesses. Developers are invited to submit software across one of three categories: Productivity and Utility, Gaming and Entertainment, and Social Good.
Details
There are over $165,000 USD in prizes for regional and global winners, with the global first place winner walking away with up to $25,000 USD in prizes.
Located in over 130 cities around the world with a community of over 200,000 developers, Developer Circles from Facebook is a great way for people to join a network of developers to collaborate, learn, and code together.
