Everyone is fascinated by the idea of competing at a Hack but there is always a fear of being unprepared. What is a Hack? What all do we need? What kind of apps do they expect? What skills do we need? This is the first part of a series called 'The Secret to Win at Hacks' where I share all I know about Hacks and if it's possible to win them through tips and tricks. I do not wish to offend any existing person/organisation/concept/institution. If you feel that I've said something offensive, please let me know on [email protected]
