We're inviting the existing and aspiring HTML5 enthusiasts to create an HTML5 web or mobile app in the afternoon after a morning of HTML5 talks from HTML5 practitioners.
HTML5 DevDay Davao is open to all developers especially those based in Davao and in Mindanao. This is a FREE event, no charge for admission, but registration is required.
