This document provides an introduction and tips for hackathons. It explains that a hackathon is an event where people work together in teams to build software projects. It encourages attendees to think of something that annoyed them as inspiration for projects. The document offers advice on skills to focus on, resources to use like Heroku for hosting, and tips for time management. It also introduces some UCLA ACM club leaders as resources for questions on topics like iOS, APIs, and past hackathon experience.
