Design support library

###by Marcos Damasceno

Google I/O this year brought us what everybody was waiting for since Material Design was announced: The Android Design Support Library. Now many of the Material Design common Patterns like the FAB button, Tabs, Snackbar, CollapsedToolbarLayout and many more features are available for easy use in your apps.

In this talk we’ll do a deep dive into the library, how to take advantage of the main new components available, why they are important and how to bring consistency to your app.

Data Binding

by Étienne Caron

An early look at the Data Binding Library. Data binding basically allows you to bind your model to relevant view elements. Changes to the model will be reflected in your UIs, and vice-versa.

The judicious use of this library promises to dramatically reduce the amount of boilerplate that is traditionally needed when coding Android UIs.

We’ll also see how the library compares to a ButterKnife + RxJava data binding implementation.
