DroidCon Montreal and GDG Android Montreal proudly present Design/Hack.
Targeted towards Android developers and UX designers, this is a one day workshop where people
form ad-hoc teams, design an app concept and build a prototype using ‘off-the-shelf’ services and APIs.
As this is a workshop concept, teams are formed on site, subjects are assigned. You’ll benefit
from expert mentoring and advice throughout the day.
All participants are expected to bring their laptops with a fully working Android Studio development
environment. (I.E. You should already be able to run things off a physical device or an emulator.)
We welcome junior Android developers, but we recommend a minimum of experience with the platform
if you want to get the most out of the day.
The team with the Best App concepts will received tickets DroidCon, where they’ll be able to
network with internationally renowned Android professionals. There might also be some surprises 🙂

Part 2: HACK (3h)
We’ll give a short introduction to various rapid development tools and APIs. We’ll then
teach you a method to efficiently work as a team with short iterative cycles, without sacrificing
communication.
You’ll then demo the work accomplished, and our mentors and panel of professionals
will review your progress and give you pointers and hints to bring your idea to the next level.
