Hi!

What could be better than starting a year with a knowledge of the full cycle of mobile development – from prototype and animation, to the fully working application?
You are right! Nothing could be better than a meetup covering those topics.
This month, great mobile oriented speakers will talk about tools and practices that will help you in that journey.

If you want to be on board, come and join Mobile development focused event at 19th January 18:30, Zaļā iela 1, 4th floor (Microsoft Latvia office).

Agenda for Mobile development focused 51st DevClub.lv:

• Gleb Revkov from C.T.Co will give a talk “Practical Prototyping”.
  Effective collaboration between developers and designers has often been a challenge. Several aspects of software, like interactivity, animation or business requirements can be elusive by nature and therefore difficult to validate before they are actually built. Through many years of experience, we have found a way to build the bridge between both groups. And that bridge are prototypes. In this talk I’m going to share my experience with “Principle” prototyping tool and demonstrate how designers and developers can perform cost-effective software iterations before a single line of production code has been written.
  (Language — Russian)
