GDG DevFestPH 2015 Code Labs

Only a few days to go before GDG DevFest Philippines 2015! The tentative agenda is posted at http://devfest.gdgph.org/p/agenda.html. On both days, there will be a keynote followed by parallel workshops on Android M, Firebase, Material Design, Polymer, Cardboard, and more!

The workshops will be first come first served for each session and there will be a maximum number of participants per room.
