The Portuguese GTUG is a vibrant community of developers from across Portugal. On the 15th of March we held a special GTUG where Paul Kinlan presented the Chrome Web Store and how it will be available to Portuguese Developers and Users.
The event was held right near the top of the beautiful Elevador de Santa Justa in central Lisbon.
After the main presentation, 8 local developers showed everyone what they have been working on in recent months.
Alexandre Carvalho from InvoiceXpress was up first to talk about their app and what they have been working on recently.
Next up was Sérgio Silva, with Cube Anywhere who discussed the Google Apps Market place, the Chrome Web Store and their Native iPhone and iPad application.
Rui Lopes showed everyone Mashmush, a free online music player & service and talked about some of the YouTube API’s.
Filipe Batista and Sergios Santos, demoed their Bundlr app, a content aggregation tool that is in Beta at the moment.
Bruno Pedro talked about Tarpipe and his experiences in the Chrome Web Store.
Alexandre Carvalho showed off ChainReaction an HTML5 Game and Space Dream, a work in progress NodeJS and Websockets MMO.
Up last, Alexandre L. Solleiro demoed his Phown app which aggregates your messages and calls and shows you information that you never knew about on your phone.
A special thanks must go to the Organisers of the GTUG, who turned around a great crowd with only a weeks notice and also to the presenters who gave the event a great feel, and the awesome developers that attended.
