How Skywaybuilders Is Revolutionizing the Construction Industry
Rich applications that benefit and delight end users in today's enterprises, built by developers like you, will be a critical component of the Skyway Software vision. So that you can help us realize our vision as quickly as possible, we have created the Skyway Cup, which will provide almost 50,000 dollars in awards for great solutions built using Skyway Builder.
By creating the Skyway Cup, we want to showcase how members of our Skyway Community are using Skyway Builder to build Rich Internet Applications, as well as demonstrate how our members are using Skyway Builder to serve their specific needs. The two entry categories are below.
Two ways to enter
- Build Rich Internet Applications with Skyway Builder. Show a working application that solves a real problem.
- Create extensions for Skyway Builder. Show custom logic steps that extend the tool itself.
Awards
- First place: 25,000 dollars.
- Second place: 7,500 dollars.
- Third place: 2,500 dollars.
- Twenty two honorable mentions at 250 dollars each.
The awards are intended to recognise work that other community members can learn from. A clear, well explained entry is worth more than a large entry with no explanation.
Submission timeframe extended
Great news for our Skyway Community members. The targeted release date of Skyway Builder Community Edition 6.0.2 is early September. As a result, we have decided to extend the submission timeframe of the Skyway Cup by one month, which means that you now have until September 30th to send us your Skyway Cup entries for an opportunity to win 25,000 dollars.
The benefits of this new submission deadline are twofold. First, it will allow you to use the latest and greatest version of Skyway Builder Community Edition to develop your Skyway Cup submittals. Furthermore, the extra weeks will give you the chance to leverage the new support resources that are available on our community website, including the Skyway Video Tutorials.
