From feeley at iro.umontreal.ca Thu Feb 23 13:32:48 2012 From: feeley at iro.umontreal.ca (Marc Feeley) Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:32:48 -0500 Subject: [MSLUG] Hacking Health Hackathon Message-ID: <32389908-6AF1-4F1D-89A4-2C0EB55BE5E2@iro.umontreal.ca> Hello. I am looking for people interested in joining a team of hackers for this weekend's "Hacking Health Hackathon" (http://www.hackinghealth.ca/) in Montreal. I am putting together a team with the objective of using Gambit, and Gambit REPL on the iPhone, to build a prototype health related application. The organizers are expecting over 150 hackers, and there are prizes to win. If you are interested, please let me know. Note that it is not absolutely necessary to be physically in Montreal, but it would help to coordinate the team. The hacking starts friday at 6 PM EST, and ends saturday at 5:30 PM EST. Marc Feeley P.S. Sorry for not announcing this sooner...

Congratulations! It sounds like all the work that Marc has put into the iOS port of Gambit is paying off. Brad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Congratulations to everyone involved. If there's an opportunity to get screen shots on the web somewhere, I'm sure many of us would like to see the user interface itself. -Patrick On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 7:00 AM, Francois Magnan wrote: > Hi, > > I decided to go at the last minute.

We formed a team with a physician and were able to build a first prototype of a data visualization app for iPad that helps physicians compare different treatments for a given illness. The data comes from a database of a curated list of medical studies. We started the programming saturday morning at 9 and finished at 5pm with a working app. We had an interface designer with us so the app is also gorgeous. All the code (95% would be more accurate) is written in Gambit and using a remote REPL we were able to develop interactively. We also used macros intensively to generate some code for us. Some of them were provided be Jeffrey Read (thank you Jeff) for FFI to Objective-C generation. This was crucial when we were at the very end trying to tweak the interfaces to the taste of the physician. It was an amazing experience. We didn't win a prize but we developed, by far, the most advanced app of all the teams in my opinion (only one other team had an iOS app and they that just two very simple screens that we could have done in 10 minutes). Thank you Marc for giving us access to such a powerful environment. Thank you to all of you in the Gambit community for helping me on this mailing list.
