This week the GDG-Philadelphia group that I manage collaborated with the Philly Cocoa group to run our first in-person event since Covid. The number of folks who showed up was much higher than I thought they would, I think everyone just really wanted to meet each other IRL again.
The developer meetups in the city have unfortunately not re-emerged from Covid as much and I am hoping they do. I am hopeful that more such events start happening again.
Thanks to Kotaro for leading so much of the organization effort for this event, and to Comcast Labs and the Lift Labs group for sponsoring the space and food.
And of course the speakers:
- Zach Russell on the Future of Flutter
- Jordan Kay on UIKit alternatives to SwiftUI
- Noah Mercado on Firebase
- Mohammad Faani on Inspecting iOS apps
- Kotaro Fujita on Game design in mobile UI
Looking forward to the next one 👋
