The Simpleweb Challenge is a new regular competition where creatives, designers and developers take on the challenge of exploring and developing new web and mobile services and products. There will be a big prize for the best product created on the night.



This month we’ll be exploring web-based (WebRTC) video...



We’ve teamed up with TokBox, a platform for quickly and easily integrating real-time communications into web and mobile apps. You’ll get a developer account for the evening and will be challenged with building a (simple) service using the TokBox API.



Who can come?



You don’t have to be a hard-core developer to try your hand at The Simpleweb Challenge.



As you’ll be creating an app or website, all you’ll need is a little experience in HTML and Javascript and you’ll be laughing. If you’re a designer or UXer, feel free to leave a message in the comments to find a developer to team up with. Integrating TokBox into your app is as easy as copying and pasting a little code. Plus we’ll have experienced TokBox users on hand to help out.



What should I expect?



We’ll start the night with a quick introduction to get you up to speed with TokBox.



After that it’s time to get hacking. You can work alone or form small teams of up to 3 people, but you’ll have to share the prize if you win!



There will be a selection of snacks, and both alcoholic and soft drinks to keep you going on the night.



At the end of the night, each team will get a couple of minutes to show off their idea before we choose a winner.



Prizes will be revealed on the night ;)
