Wednesday, May 09, 2012: Following the
astounding popularity of FaceCode Hackathon,
the first app development contest of its kind,
KRDS, the country's largest Facebook Preferred
Developer Consultant (now PMD), is organizing
‘KRDS FaceCode’ for the second year in a
row. ‘KRDS FaceCode’ is a 24hr, all-night hack contest for the developer community to build apps exclusively for Facebook. The enthusiastic response displayed by this community last year encouraged KRDS to conduct a second edition, the theme for which is ‘Write the Future’. FaceCode is one of India’s largest hackathons in scope; it encourages people to develop apps around
real-life national issues like corruption,
education, traffic hauls etc. on Facebook, to
lead Indians into a better future.

The contest begins on Saturday, May 19th and
ends on Sunday, May 20th. FaceCode is open to
all enthusiasts - freshers as well as working
professionals - who can participate online or
from KRDS’ offices in Chennai, Bengaluru and
Delhi. Interested participants can log onto:
