“We had a great learning experience participating in mApp Your Way competition and presenting our application at the 16th Esri India User Conference. As developers, we got an opportunity to work with various Esri's API's for implementing our application. Working on an application addressing a social issue, that could help citizens, was intriguing and fun. Attending the user conference was altogether a fascinating experience, where we learnt more about Esri's technologies, its progress in the field of GIS and its impact in real world situations.”

The review by experts from Esri India is a really good opportunity to understand your mistakes and get the needed directions in app development. It also is a great way to unravel the immense potential of the Esri SDKs in different platforms with the complimentary credits given by Esri for development.
