This is Flutter Scotland's first meetup so we'll do a bit of networking and a reception with food and drinks (18:30-19:15). We'll then do an introduction to highlight why we've setup this Meetup group and what we hope to achieve - looking for wider feedback and input from attendees! (19:15-19:30).

We plan to have attendees who have recently attended Flutter Dev Europe talk about the experience and share insights that they've learned or found useful during the conference. (19:30-20:30).

Finally - we'll have a bit of time at the end for any Q&A and some further discussions / networking. (20:30-21:00).

Flutter Scotland

Flutter Scotland Meetup is the community in Scotland for people to learn, discuss, explore and share all things related to Google's cross-platform open source UI development toolkit for building natively compiled apps for mobile (iOS and Android) and web - from a single codebase.

We're trying to bring together all those who have an interest in mobile development, cross-platform development and want to learn from each other for the benefit of Scotland's mobile development community.

At our Meetups, we'll be looking to highlight ongoing Flutter projects within Scotland and regularly discuss / present new developments, processes, architectures and patterns in the Flutter and Dart platforms. We're always open to new topics and fresh ideas so feel free to suggest something if you'd like to present it or find out more about it.

Cloud Pathway to AWS

It’s common to see Microsoft developers and administrators default to Azure as their first public cloud without considering a different hyperscale cloud. It appears logical to think that Microsoft would be the best cloud to run Microsoft workloads – but is it really?


What can you expect from this event?

To explore this situation in more depth, Martin Beeby, Principle Developer Evangelist at AWS and Microsoft on AWS expert, will be presenting the benefits of managing Microsoft workloads on Amazon Web Services at our event in Edinburgh on September 10th.

Also at the event, Aled Sage, VP Engineering at Cloudsoft, will also be talking about the far-reaching effects catastrophic IT failure can have on financial performance and companies’ reputations. Aled also introduces good practices to prevent IT failure by making business applications more resilient.

Finally, Cedric Clain, Lead Architect at Criton, will present Criton's experience with AWS, from the process of their migration to the results and benefits they've observed since then.

The talks will be followed by an FAQ for all guests to get the opportunity to ask questions and get answers relevant to their business, and drinks and nibbles will also be provided.


Who is this event for?

- Business leaders who want to improve their business application’s resilience to critical IT failure
- Technology leaders looking for practical insights into how to run Microsoft workloads on AWS
- Developers, Cloud and DevOps practitioners who will implement the practices to ensure security, speed and scale

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join our growing Scottish community of cloud experts and digital businesses and learn the best ways to ensure speed, resilience and security.

Places are limited. Book your ticket today to avoid disappointment.

#CyberSecurity: Fortinet (ZoneFox), PhotoBox Group, PrivacyKit & Trace

Our next ProductTank Edinburgh event will be held on the 30th April at CodeBase with a focus on Cyber Security. We have the following exciting speakers lined up who will be sharing their experiences and challenges of building cyber security products, as well as the importance of building security into existing products.

Matt Little
Matt is currently a VP of Engineering for Security Analytics within Fortinet. Prior to this he was the CTO and one of the founding members of ZoneFox which was recently acquired by Fortinet. While CTO he helped build and launch the ZoneFox portfolio and was a key driver in the growth and scaling of ZoneFox. Matt is also on a number of boards and was recently on the judging panel for Scottish Edge. Matt will cover the challenges of building successful cyber security products while being a new-entrant to the market and a largely unknown start-up located in Scotland.

Stu Hirst
Stu is currently Head of Cloud Security at PhotoBox Group and has also worked at CapitalOne and Skyscanner. He is also the founder of Cyber Scotland Connect, a 1400-strong cyber community which promotes the sharing of experiences and lessons learnt amongst the cyber security experts in Edinburgh. Stu's talk will focus on security considerations when building a new website or mobile app product.

Kirk J. Torrance
Kirk has over a decade of working at the forefront of digital and social media, and has consulted domestically and internationally for politicians and political parties. As a result of that experience Kirk went on to design and develop PrivacyKit , a personal privacy toolset to help protect individual web users when using the Internet which consists of both physical and digital components. Kirk will be speaking about how developing physical products is analogous to the process required of digital products; whilst also sharing insights he garnered in bringing PrivacyKit to market.

Sorcha Lorimer
Sorcha is founder of Trace, a data protection SaaS start up based in Edinburgh. She has previously worked with digital agencies as Global Head of Digital Strategy at Standard Life, and has broad consultancy experience. Sorcha is now focused on developing user-centred data compliance and discovery products which take the pain and inefficiency out of governance. Her talk will focus on pragmatic Privacy by Design, taking a holistic and business centric view, as well as looking at getting the balance right between regulation and innovation.
