With HTML 5 and the BlackBerry® WebWorks™ SDK, developing mobile apps from a web development background has never been easier. Graham is a developer who attended the BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) Apps Hackathon in New York in August. He has demonstrated how web technologies can bring functionality and design to social apps. At the Hackathon, Graham was able to collaborate with other developers to convert ideas into realities. Graham’s app, Wink, integrates the BBM platform into a location-based app, allowing users to meet new people around them and share experiences.
