What are the prerequisite skills and knowledge needed for participating in codechef hackathon?

Hey @tintin_ ,

  • You need to know at least one programming language to implement your hack/application/software.
  • You should know some networking concepts and basics of HTTP so that you can utilise HTTP API.
  • You should also have some knowledge of OAuth 2.0
  • And the most important, A super-motivated team. :smiley: \m/

Other than this,

  • You need to know how to use Alibaba Cloud Resources, which you can checkout here

And, there will be help documents too.

Shall I be able to implement it using c++? @abhijeetpandey

@tintin_ Actually it depends on what you are going to make. Generally developers don’t use C++ when it comes to Hackathons. I would suggest to use Python if you are starting fresh, that would be easy for you to grasp and implement whatever you want. And you’ll also find good community support.

5

Which python library or framework I need to know for this?

6

@tintin_ you may use django or flask.

7

Is PHP, JavaScript allowed?

There is nothing which is disallowed. You can chose any language and Framework.
