Skype API Developer Competition

April 26, 2005 07:06 AM

Topics: Developer Zone | Products | Skype News | design | software

From the Skype DevZone:

We at Skype, are very excited to present our first public competition. It's a competition for developers (that's software developers, not property developers). We would like you invite you to enter.

We're giving away 5000 Euros of cash prizes and in return we'd like you to use our API to develop applications that show-off the potential of Skype, and make it even easier and better to use in the future.

You can put forward as many entries as you like. All we ask is that you're happy for us to make them available to download for free from skype.com and that you get them to us before the deadline for entries on July 1st 2005.

After you work your way through the Details, tell Skype Journal about your project. If you're blogging it, send us a link. For some insights, be sure to read the free Skype Journal's "Learning Skype's Plug-In Architecture" guide.
