Happy Monday! AIR (Accessibility Internet Rally) Houston is a web design competition that increases awareness of the tools and techniques that make the Internet accessible to everyone – including people with disabilities. AIR Houston will have their next competition on November 12th, and they are accepting applications for developer teams. Come tighten up your development and design skills while serving a worthy cause and register a team.

Make sure you register this week for the Engineer to Entrepreneur (E2E) event on October 8th, hosted by SpaceUp Houston and the Houston Technology Center. Hear about successful tech startups that are aerospace spin-offs and then find your engineering dream team during the co-founder dating style forum to connect entrepreneurs with aerospace engineers.

 

Registration for Houston Startup Weekend is officially open so get your ticket at special early bird pricing and get ready for November 18th, 2011. We are honored to have the University of Houston’s College of Architecture as the venue for the Fall Houston Startup Weekend. I hope to see you there!

What’s Going on in the Houston Startup Community

 

Allen Halsted, professional game developer, is preparing to release his first game, Hacker Wars, from his own shop, Random Features, Inc. Hacker Wars is a mixture of classic video game memes presented with the latest graphical eye candy on the Android platform. Allen plans to discuss the major differences between a normal application and a game engine. Then using source code from Hacker Wars, he will demonstrate scene construction, the render loop, a finite state machine and basic sprite animation.

 

GroundUP Houston events encourage experienced entrepreneurs and people with startup dreams to share their experiences with like-minded individuals. Houston has a rich history of people who have taken their ideas and grown them into successful businesses from the ground up.
