Last night’s Drinks on Tap, an informal event hosted by Greg Raiz of Raiz Labs, brought a great crowd of developers and mobile enthusiasts alike out to The Asgard in Cambridge. The event opened up with people shouting out whether they were looking for jobs or hiring. As it turns out, not just businesses are looking for developers, developers are looking for other developers, too.

This month’s Drinks on Tap event showcased five iPhone and iPad apps built here in the Boston area, many of which we’ve written about before. Make sure to check out the photos from the event below.

Mtiks

Mtiks, who we’ve covered in depth after they launched in March, is actually built for app developers. Their technology identifies if your app has been pirated and gives you options on what to do — whether that be converting them to paid customers or crashing it on them. According to their founder, 12+ million people jailbreak apps today on mobile app oriented sites equivalent to The Pirate Bay, often very expensive ones.

TwoSixtyTwo

We featured many of TwoSixtyTwo’s apps last week, and founder Brian Schachter displayed his iPad app Blues Guitar at the event. Schachter went to Berklee for a stint, and is completing a degree at a design school in the area. Using this app means you’ll “never hit a wrong note,” relying on only notes in the blues scale when you play a tune.

Bowdoin Dining App

Ben Johnson, a senior at Bowdoin College, has built a dining app for the school which displays all the upcoming meals at different locations. It also allows you to favorite meals and alert you when they’re on the menu. The coolest part of the app is on a version still in development, and allows you to see how long the line is at each dining hall location. He taps into the college’s dining server, which is pinged every time a student’s dining card is swiped, and runs an algorithm on that.

Texterity

Carl Scholz of Texterity displayed one of their 65 apps built for major publishers. The company’s platforms takes print magazines, like Entrepreneur, and optimizes them for the iPad. The company has produced 700 magazines for download to date and has partnerships with most of the major publishers here in the States.

Smuggle Truck

Alex Schwartz from Owlchemy Labs presented their new game. Still in the works, this iPad app looks like it will incredibly addicting. The premise is to drive a truck full of immigrants through levels. And what makes this app really cool is that you can actually create your own levels, adding and resizing different slices of land and other scenery.
