Canada: Interested in Open Data? Top 15 Submitted Apps From CODE 2015 Now Online

March 17, 2015 by Gary Price

Code 2015 was the largest “appathon” in Canadian history.
From a News Release:

More than 1,300 participants, representing over 300 teams from across the country, built 125 apps, drawing inspiration from 3 development themes: Healthy Living,Business Opportunities, and Youth Employment. It was Canada’s biggest appathon ever.
Over the last week, XMG Studio, the private sector host of CODE 2015, screened the long list of apps submitted by participants to a short list of the most promising top 15 apps.

Browse the Top 15 Apps in Three Categories
All of the apps I wanted to learn more about are live on the web and ready to use. Many of the apps are web resources of value to librarians, library users, and other researchers.
