Good Morning, Scottish Startups! Some fantastic events this week with one in particular catching my eye. On Tuesday evening Graeme West of Spot Speciï¬c will introduce the Spot Speciï¬c platform for mobile development. Glasgow-based Spot Speciï¬c allows users to develop, build and publish mobile apps for iPhone and Android from the browser. This means you can make a cross platform app without having to use Objective-C or Java. You can take Spot Speciï¬c out for a spin now for free.Graeme’s talk on Tuesday is just one of the great events taking place this week in Scotland.
