Build RESTful APIs in GO
Do you want to build backend application but don’t like JavaScript? Let’s GO. GO (golang) is an open-source programming language with simplicity at its core. It is supported by Google is widely in use for backend and CLI applications with a growing ecosystem of communities, partners, and tools. GO has a handful to data types for simplicity. It is easy to get started with GO and build amazing applications. In this session, we will take a tour of GO lang and explore a REST API built with GO and hosted it in Azure as Azure Function.
Getting Started With Mobile Development
Mobile development is one of the most exciting kind of projects to work on. With the proliferation of smartphones, it has been made easy to reach a large number of users via mobile apps. With the invent of App Store and Play Store, the mobile development space has grown exponentially. The technology has come along way and has made getting started with mobile development much easier.
In this session, we will explore several ways to getting started with mobile development for iOS and Android. Difference and opportunities between native and cross-platform platforms, and progressive web apps (PWA), and their tradeoffs, and the job market of the future.
Build Mobile Apps with Flutter
Flutter is an exciting framework to build cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. Flutter takes a unique approach to develop beautiful, pixel perfect applications on several platforms. With Flutter, we can build mobile applications in Dart language with a slight learning curve. In this session, we will learn about Flutter and what it can do for us in our next project, and we will build our first Flutter app live.
Deploy Your GO API to Azure Functions
Do you want to build backend application but don’t like JavaScript? Let’s GO. GO is an open-source programming language with simplicity at its core. It is supported by Google is widely in use for backend and CLI applications with a growing ecosystem of communities, partners, and tools. It is easy to get started with GO and build amazing applications.
Ok, so now you built your GO API and want to publish to Azure. In this session, we will take a tour of GO lang and explore a REST API built with GO and hosted it in Azure as Azure Function.
Build Mobile Apps with Xamarin/MAUI
Xamarin is an easy to learn and use framework that allows us to build cross-platform application for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Tizen with the power of .NET. Xamarin framework has evolved into MAUI (Multi-App User Interface) since its inception and now expands to even more platforms with .NET 6. In this session, we will learn about Xamarin and MAUI, and will build our first mobile app using C#/.NET.
Audience:
This session is for anyone who is interested in getting started with mobile app development. This session will benefit those with basic (or advanced) programming and software development knowledge. No prior mobile app development experience is necessary, but could be helpful.

Who should attend this workshop?
This workshop is ideal for developers seeking to elevate their skills in Flutter development. Basic knowledge in OOP language e.g. C#, Java, etc. will be beneficial.
What do you need on your machine before the workshop?
To minimize setup time during the workshop, it is recommended that we have the following items setup and installed on our workstation,
- IDE: Visual Studio Code or Android Studio
- iOS Simulator and/or Android Emulator (usually part of IDE setup)
- SDK: Install Flutter SDK (which includes Dart SDK)
- Network: Access to the internet (so we can call the web API)
- Optionally, try to build a Flutter app to make sure all the setup is correct
Workshop: Build Real-World Cross-platform Applications with MAUI
Dive into the world of MAUI with our comprehensive workshop, designed for developers eager to excel in cross-platform application development. This full-day session is a blend of theory and practical exercises, covering key aspects such as:
