Project Summary

New Line Technologies developed the web and iOS/Android apps for SocialPutts, a golf-focused social networking platform, building the platform from the ground up including infrastructure, database architecture, UI/UX and branding. The solution is Windows/.NET-based and hosted on Azure; PhoneGap was used for cross-platform mobile development.
