Mobile Backend Meetup
We hosted a pizza and bear filled meetup last night at Innovation Warehouse in Central London for developers and techies. With the growth of APIs and their ever complex models we wanted this meetup to make it easier to understand what is out there.
Our CEO Taras Filatov was one of the speakers along with Dan Murphy from Pearson and Terrence Eden of InMobi.

Taras spoke about the Trends and Evolution of API’s and the Services that are available.
Dan spoke about what Pearson’s API’s can offer along with some funny use cases.
Terrence spoke about InMobi’s API’s and how developers can earn a lot of money from ads in apps.
