Multiplatform app for developers meetup.

I love to attend developer meetups here in São Paulo capital, you probably can meet me in one of these.

The one which I most visit is the GDG-SP, the Google Developers Group of São Paulo, so I wanted to build an app to make networking easier between the participants, send new meetup notifications, make raffles, etc. Then I developed the GDG-SP app.

I have decided to use a lot of my knowledge to build the GDG-SP app, this is why there are Android in native Java, Windows Universal Platform in native C# and Xamarin.Forms versions for iOS, Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1. There are other Xamarin.Forms projects versions in UWP and Android, just in case someone may want to use it in lectures. It’s back-end I have made in object oriented PHP 7 with MySQL.

I also build a .NET 4.5 desktop program which generates a database of all people who confirmed their presence in an event, based on the Meetup events API. The apps generate a QR Code over the user’s login Meetup ID, then the program reads this QR throughout the webcam and identifies the member, generating a report containing the time every person arrived and people who missed.

Since I like to help new developers, all of this project is open source and available on my GitHub, whoever wants to study the code or even make versions of it to other meetups is able to.
