Dropbox Teams Up With McLaren Racing as an Official Technology Partner of McLaren Formula 1 Team

 

Zapier — provider of easy automation for businesses of all sizes — today announced the acquisition of Makerpad, the leading content and education platform for learning to build software without code.

“For years we’ve watched in admiration as Ben pushed the limits on what you could build without ever writing a line of code,” said Wade Foster, co-founder and CEO, Zapier. “Zapier will continue to make automation easy and Makerpad will teach you how to do it. Together we’ll work toward ensuring anyone with a problem or an idea, no matter their technical abilities, can solve it themselves.”
