Come see how easy it can be to use Google Firebase to take your app idea from concept to production. In this workshop you will build your own messaging application, start to finish, with support for images, markdown, and connecting with friends.
While building this web app will learn about many Firebase features, including:

- Client and Admin SDK
Code will be in JavaScript & Node.js from a git repository, so please be prepared to start coding. You will also need a Google account to sign in to Firebase.
