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! :)

A Developer’s Evening with Yahoo! Philippines

August 8, 2008 · Comments 

Yahoo! Philippines is inviting Philippine-based web developers to a Networking Event where you can meet fellow developers. The company will also share details about future web developer activities in the country and the Yahoo! Developer Network, which offers Web Services and APIs that make it easy for developers to build applications and mashups that integrate data sources in new ways, making the web a more useful and fun place for everyone.

Yahoo! Philippines first held a developer meeting in October 2007 in conjunction with the University of Philippines-Yahoo! Hack Day. At the event, UP students demonstrated how simple it was to use Yahoo!’s open APIs to create web utilities that are relevant to their internet experience.

The event details are:

Venue: TGI Fridays (3F Glorietta 3, Ayala Center, Makati City)
Date: 14 August 2008
Time: 6-9 pm

Expect food, drinks and a steady flow of Yahoo! goodies. The raffle of an ipod and other Yahoo! schwags will be announced at 8.45pm.

The event is free, but please RSVP your attendance to sea-ydn@yahoo-inc.com with your details and subject header “YDN PH Event”. Closing date for RSVPs is 12 August 2008.

Disclaimer: I work for Yahoo! Southeast Asia, and I’m posting the invite on behalf of Yahoo!, but I wholeheartedly invite you to come join us on Thursday night! It will be a great time to meet others and talk shop. :) ‘Hope to see you there!
