Flutter JAM #GDGChennai

My experience of the event,
The element of Anxiety to learn Something :
It was never whether the event is of small or big it's the enthusiastic audience that makes it a successful one and only then it would be worth the effort and as far as I've seen never any of the Google event or GDG Chennai failed to meet expectations. And this wasn't my first but something about this made me happy and you know the satisfaction at the end of the day. I was accompanied with Abhishek Uniyal from FnPlus Tech and my friends overall were group of people eager to learn.
Why Jam?
I've just tried flutter on my own and was looking for a Study Jam to get started you know people with common interests ready to learn and share information that was always the best way to begin learning. Alone you don't know anything but just share and collaborate with people and you can do wonders.
ThoughtWorks-office Chennai
Yeah though the event was set to start at 11AM you know traffic in Chennai or any other city, some-how we made it early to ThoughtWorks(the Venue) and trust me it is such an great place to work and it's was a perfect venue for the Jam.
The Speaker
Pavan Kumar GDE (Google Developer Expert) for Flutter and Dart was the speaker and he's come from a long way thank him for that ,especially he was so patient and the explanation, the detail was just amazing he explained everything from the scratch clearly it was very interesting to listen to him and the event was of course a Jam so we were having more of a Hand's on experience than just words so it was more of an experience.
First we were taught the basic structure of a flutter app and then as we move forward we tried to make an Instagram clone app and it was just the same wonder what flutter can do more however out of interest I also made a Gmail clone that day and we had a lot of other fun like some three rounds of quiz based on the learning about things on the day of event and goodies were given for the winners .

In the End
It was a good day and everyone were leaving but then it was a five-minute talk with the speaker and man it was awe-inspiring he just broke down the reality of the situation and future to us like his idea as so practical and logical like he said ask yourself whether you want to work for passion or want to get a job ? Stay away from family and alone in another country making a huge sum? It's up-to your satisfaction and zeal to passion at the end of the day But this is just a Glimpse there's was more.
A huge Thanks to everyone who made the Day Count, GDG: Somasundaram and Varun and Kishore from ThoughtWorks, Volunteers : Teja Kummarikuntla, Praveen, Syed Rafi and Karan Ganesan and many others for your efforts for I say it was worth it.
