Code-a-thons

Web application can be developed and changed very quickly. Web 2.0 is one of the main reasons it is constantly in Beta. Changes and tweaks can be done with great ease.

It seems some people are taking rapid development quite seriously. ReadWriteWeb has an interesting article about weekend code-a-thons. Rapid development retreats where teams work either with each other or against each other to develop web applications. The teams work to go from design to launch in just two days.

If I had a weekend to spare I would love to try this out. I think it would be an excellent weekend to learn and meet with other like-minded people as well. I imagine it would be like trying to do our group projects in a weekend.
