Hello Mobile Enthusiast...
Welcome again to our weekly mobile/LBS news roundup.
To begin, have you checked to see if there's a dev event or meetup coming to a city near you? A couple of firms, namely, Safe Software and Esri are taking to the road with with their travelling roadshows... perhaps an event is coming to your city! Esri DevMeetUps are a fun, laidback event designed for the developer, end user, or client interested in leveraging Esri's solutions in their business workflows (Note: you don't have to be an Esri user/client to attend these events).
