#datajourn: Simon Willison’s ‘hack day’ tools for non-developers
July 29th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Online Journalism
The Guardian’s second (internal) hack day is imminent; the development team, members of the tech department and even journalists get together to play and build.
Read about the first one here. Remember this effort by guest hacker, Matthew Somerville: http://charlian.dracos.co.uk/?
In preparation for the second, Simon Willison (@simonw), the lead developer behind the Guardian’s MPs’ expenses crowdsourcing application, has helpfully put together an (external) list of tools for non-developers: “sites, services and software that could be used for hacking without programming knowledge as a pre-requisite. “
