What if I tell you can implement your learning and build solution to a real-world problem along with developers from across the world?

Amazing, right?

On top of that, Hackathons provide you with an opportunity to showcase your talent and get a cash prize.

17) Online community platforms

Many online technical and community platforms also host their hackathons focused on their tools and technology. For example, Hashnode, Dev .to

So… Which one is the best?

Yess.

But really, my advice is to go to all of the above websites and any more you can find. Apply to as many hackathons as you can and keep learning, building and growing in public during hackathons.

That’s all for now. See you at the next hackathon.
