Build Native Mobile Apps with PHP: Live with the NativePHP Founders

Orlando PHP Meetup | Orlando Devs
Join *Orlando PHP* and *OrlandoJS* as we connect, live via video, with **Shane Rosenthal and Simon Hamp**, co-founders of **NativePHP**, a framework that brings **native desktop app development to PHP and Laravel developers**.
(https://nativephp.com/) builds *real* iOS and Android apps, bundling PHP with your app and lets it run inside a **Swift** or **Kotlin** (mobile) or Electron (desktop) shell.
You can also build macOS, Windows, and Linux applications using Laravel AND your existing PHP workflow. Best of all, yes, you *can* use JavaScript, too!
You’ll learn what you can build today, where the project is heading next, and *can ask questions directly to the NativePHP creators!*
Later that night, we’ll hear **Rahul Ghosh**:
For today’s student developers, stepping into the AI era means embracing constant change.
Being flooded with new AI tools and headlines every week while adapting to a shifting job landscape has shaped a new generation of student developers: Generation AI. This talk takes a deep dive into how this generation works, learns, and builds — revealing what every developer can adopt from this mindset, along with common pitfalls to avoid.
We’ll have food and drinks to enjoy with social and networking opportunities.
