Let me start the blog by thanking Google for sponsoring Pre Startup Weekend Boot Camp across the globe. The main objective of the boot camp is to help participants spend less time on building a prototype during the main Startup Weekend event. From the past experience, we have seen that many participants spend most of their time on building small applications from scratch. So to help participants avoid the huge amount of time on trivial technical things, this upcoming boot camp would focus on rapid prototyping.
We have selected the following topics to help you expedite the development process whether you want to build mobile application or web application. If you think we need to either change the existing topics or add few more topics, your suggestions are welcome. You can write an email to bangalore@startupweekend.org

Please note participants will have to register separately for Google Boot Camp with nominal charges of Rs 100. Even if you have registered for the main event, you have to register separately for boot camp. Boot camp is open for registration to everyone. Due to restrictions on the limited capacity at the venue, only limited number of tickets are available to everyone. Participants of the main boot camp will get a higher priority for the boot camp.
