This session is part of the TechMeetups Guru Program, a practical 3 month educational and mentoring course to kick-start your Startup. You can choose to attend just this session by booking here, or participate in the full course to receive additional support and mentoring for your company from our Gurus – find out more here.

Development platforms can be a tricky decision. The decision can vary based on your budget, past experience, how easy it is to find developers, cost of maintenance, functionality provided, scalability, ease of migration, etc. etc.

We get some of the best tech Gurus to talk about all these and help you make that critical decision.

Our Gurus have a wide breadth of development experience as well as in-depth knowledge of some of the state of the art development platforms that will be shared & discussed in this session.
