The Google Developer Group of Mercer University strives to teach web and mobile developers about the various tools Google has available to help create great products more efficiently. GDG Macon also helps technology students at Mercer University meet developers from the local community and provide community building for Middle Georgia IT professionals.
We have had a lot of fun building community and learning together in 2013 and 2014. Just in case you missed all the action, we’ve collected many of the lessons from our sessions. We hope the content serves you in growing your skills as a technology professional.
