First ever Hackathon

Hi everyone today I am going to share my first ever Hackathon
experience. Through this article I will share about hackathons, how to grab one, & what I have learned in my first ever hackathon journey.

What is a Hackathon?

Honestly, I was also unaware of this term Hackathon, but few months back while I was attending a tech webinar, from there I got to know about it. A hackathon is basically what we call a competition, arranged by a community, and if you won, you get some swags and prices.

My first hackathon

As I am associated with many communities in discord, last week, I get to know about a beginner friendly one by the dynamics Org, and I enrolled in it through devpost (One of the best places to find ongoing Hackathons).

My hackathon project

As it was my first ever hackathon so I was brain storming a lot, for project ideas and atlast, I have built a basic weather web app who displays weather of a particular place. I have used the HTML5 for my app layout, CSS3 for the designs, JavaScript for the backend, Openweather.org's API for fetching the weather of a particular city and Unsplash API for background image of my app (as it gives my app a new image in the background, every time I fetch the weather of a particular city).

Conclusion

In this whole journey I have learned a lot and made new friends all over the world. That's all about it. Feel free to comment out if you want to ask me something & if you like this blog don't hesitate to hit a .
