I am a Turkish Software Developer and I wonder at the status of software industry in Iran? Do you have any experience or knowledge? I have made some researches about conferences, meetups, events etc but I haven't found anything.
I'm a developer from Iran. because of US sanctions there are multiple cloning startups for every major global app and websites like amazon, uber, airbnb, waze, google/apple app stores, itunes, netflix etc.
some of them are very popular like digikala, snapp, bazaar, etc.
community is very young, although there has been a lot of new conferences and events in last few years, there is no huge international event that I know of.
I'm developer and CTO in Iran companies
these days software industry grow fast in Iran, maybe because of dollar rate or progress of removing sanctions<p>Many investor and global companies try to come to Iran and i think every day software industry going bigger
I am an Iranian software developer which I live in Ankara/Turkey. The IT Industry in Iran and turkey is a little different. Because of sanctions using cloud infrastructure is not popular in Iran and most of the companies are using their own private infrastructure which causes high cost and less reliable services.<p>Meetups in Ankara is so popular too. In Ankara, we have at least a meeting every 2 days but in Iran, it may be a meeting per 2 weeks. The most of meeting in Ankara is technical and they talk about technologies and tools, in Iran, most of the meeting is about business and startups.
