*+-Developers working with Qt can use one code base to target multiple operating systems. Sadly, promise and reality diverge quite a bit. This talk starts out by looking at what Qt is, and then goes on to explain specifics on various platforms.
*+-There have been several attempts at conquering the users’ living room by offering the perfect entertainment device. Android TV is Google’s latest effort to this end, which offers a sofa-tuned user interface based on Android Lollipop. Will you, as a developer, miss out the chance of bringing your content to the party? This talk will […]
*+-Hardware acceleration is a very important tool to know because it’s maybe the only tool that not knowing it can damage existing code for no apparent reason in a way that could make your application start crashing or misbehaving without you changing a single character of code. Why would that happen? Very simple; since hardware […]
*+-With the latest major release of the Android OS, codenamed “Lollipop”, Google is playing its best cards to enter the enterprise market. Android 5.0 Lollipop has introduced new features, security enhancement and upgraded API for device management; it can now be considered a mature operating system to be used in critical environment and a potential […]
*+-Developers’ life is quite sedentary and waterless, as when they work, they go into wormholes and forget to drink water and take proper exercises. With this app we try to take them back into real life. Thanks to this app we’ll show the approach to design and develop a wearable application.
*+-Delivering updates with confidence; shortening time to market; writing clean and correct code every day: this is the promise of Test-Driven Development. But, it’s not easy to do TDD in Android. You have to either run the tests on the device, or install a complex framework that mimics the Android APIs. Both options slow you […]
*+-Your users want their emails, contacts and notes being available all the time, even if they are offline. On the other hand, they want all their data synced across all their devices. Instantly. Obviously – all of this needs to be battery and network efficient. While developing the Base app, Mateusz and his teammates had […]
*+-Apps become more complex, and users expect smooth UIs. In order to meet both demands, app developers often have to dive into the dark waters of performance optimisation techniques At first, these techniques might look as magic as any other sufficiently advanced technology and you drift any and hope for a more powerful device next […]
*+-What’s the best testing framework on Android? Espresso or Robotium? Robolectric or a plain JUnit test? The reason why many developers don’t write tests is not due to the testing libraries but because of the low testability of the Android code. In this talk we’ll see, thanks to a practical example, how to use Dependency […]
*+-t some point during your career as a developer you will consider writing a library. Sometimes you want to do it simply to be able to reuse your code in an elegant way. Other times because your code-base is getting so big that you feel the urge to modularize it. Sometimes you just realize you […]
