Even without winning I learned a lot and had fun with it.<br /><br />I also appreciate the work you have put into it. <br />Preparing the contests, the pre-round2 work (I remember the mail from Monica where she sent her cell phone number for the weekend) and the judging of the 100 round2-submissions per contest must have been exhausting.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08941681025867511180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300808.post-61284505097224575992011-04-05T22:17:53.932-07:002011-04-05T22:17:53.932-07:00Matthew, April,Yowhasoy, Shu,

Coming in with virtually "zero" android experience to an app that actually loaded on an android phone was pretty kewl for me.<br /><br />When I was sharing what I was doing with non programmers during lunch on one of the contest days that I managed to make it to the second round my lunchmate could genuinely see the fun and excitment in my face and voice when I was telling them what I was doing. <br /><br />Not that it matters too much, but I wonder if the Google Team took the time to rank the non winners, to see how we/they kind of faired. (maybe privately, to not damage too many ego's ;-) )... <br />Sort of a Google Peer review feedback.<br /><br />Anyways, looking forward to the next ones.swingkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045990994054391881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300808.post-34233408247800287902011-04-05T21:46:30.779-07:002011-04-05T21:46:30.779-07:00I've uploaded my source & apk to github: h...I've uploaded my source & apk to github: <a href="https://github.com/hackcasual/BounceClock" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hackcasual/BounceClock</a><br /><br />Mine was the party mode app.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440203235292181525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300808.post-201014389568013272011-04-05T21:45:25.577-07:002011-04-05T21:45:25.577-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440203235292181525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300808.post-83511747788023883262011-04-05T19:14:53.605-07:002011-04-05T19:14:53.605-07:00These challenges were a great motivator.

I pulled several all nighters in those 10 days. But I had a blast doing it! I sort of miss it now. Please Google, consider having more coding contests to spotlight your API's. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing everyone at Google IO.<br />Thanks from a google fan girl!April Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16848891556415558181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300808.post-22103422731061507102011-04-05T18:23:57.676-07:002011-04-05T18:23:57.676-07:00I can't thank you guys and gals enough for put...I can't thank you guys and gals enough for putting on this contest!

I remember working on the gwt challenge for the full 22 hours straight and still not getting it done xD. It really humbled me and has forced me to push myself so that I might be ready for next time :-) thank you guys, and I can not wait for what is to come!yowhasoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369961141145107074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300808.post-63962563479792112722011-04-05T15:24:16.513-07:002011-04-05T15:24:16.513-07:00I would love to see some of the Android apps that ...I would love to see some of the Android apps that won.
