The Y!Philippines Developers’ Night Recap and an invite to Y!HQ in Sunnyvale

August 21, 2008

Jojo gets feedback from the Developer Community by Jem Seow The Yahoo! Philippines Developers’ Night was held last Wednesday, August 14, in TGI Friday’s in Glorietta 3, where Yahoo! gave an overview of the Yahoo! Developer Network and discussed the future of the web development scene in the Philippines with the developers who attended the networking session. There was food, drinks, swag, and a healthy flow of techie conversations.

Angela Sabas sharing with RP developers on the the Yahoo! Developer Network by Jem Seow As the one giving the YDN overview, I was worried about possible low turnout due to the heavy rains prior and during the early part of the event–but in the end, the place was packed! I met many local developers, shared Yahoo! details and trivia, and learned from them as well. Jojo Anonuevo, our General Manager for Yahoo! Philippines, also gave an overview and is inviting Pinoy developers to apply for a chance to go to the Yahoo! HQ in Sunnyvale, California and represent the community. Give it a shot–applications are due 5:00PM on August 22.

Sa uulitin! :)
