Your Business Doesn't Fit on a Phone — Neither Should Your Flutter App
Details
🚨 Big News for the Austin Flutter & GDG Community! 🚨
GDG Austin and Flutter Austin are thrilled to announce a special joint partnership with Very Good Ventures for our March 30th Meetup! 🎉
We’re bringing in one of the top Flutter experts in the world for a live, in-person technical talk you won’t want to miss.
Most Flutter developers build for iOS and Android. But the businesses we serve run on dozens of screens — a coffee shop alone needs an app, website, kiosks, POS systems, kitchen displays, and menu boards. In this talk, you'll see a live demo of a full coffee shop platform running across eight screens from a single Flutter codebase, with real-time sync between every device. Then we'll open the hood and walk through the code that makes it work. You'll leave with a wider view of what Flutter can do and a practical understanding of how to get there.
We are delighted to announce that Marcus Twichel (GDE for Flutter/Dart and Tech Lead at Very Good Ventures) will be flying into Austin to deliver this tech talk on Flutter's versatility across platforms — not just for mobile. This session will feature real-world examples of Flutter being used across multiple environments and devices.
Marcus is one of the best in the business when it comes to Flutter, and we could not be more excited to have him join the Austin community for this event.
