Gone are the days where you can afford to take months to build an enterprise mobile app. In today's fast market, you need to be able to prototype the app in a few days, release the first version in a few weeks, get feedback, fix bugs, release the second version. Repeat. In this session you will learn how to use APIs and a cloud platform for rapid mobile development. We will use the Appery.io (https://appery.io) mobile platform to build a real app. This is a live coding session where you will be able to test the app on your phone, and we will package the app for iOS/Android. Come and learn how to build enterprise class mobile apps using our cloud toolset. Plus, get the 60-day Standard plan free ($90 value.)

Lori Cheek (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/lori-cheek/4/81b/168), Founder & CEO, Cheekd (http://cheekd.com)

Cheekd (http://cheekd.com) reimagines online dating with a new app that makes missed connections obsolete. Cheekd uses a cross-platform low energy Bluetooth technology, which fosters hyper local engagement. The app connects people in real time, versus virtual time. Connections begin in person; Cheekd helps you take the next step and continue the conversation online.

Cheekd ensures you ‘Never Miss a Connection’; thanks to this new bluetooth technology, the app works on the train; on a plane… anywhere—You’ll get an immediate notification if someone who meets your criteria is within 30 feet of you. If you’re near a potential spark, Cheekd makes sure you know about it.
