Pourquoi vous avez besoin d’une Clean Architecture ? (In French)

Level: Intermediate

by Julien Hamon

L’architecture applicative définit la façon dont nous développons, testons et maintenons nos applications. Une bonne architecture vous permet d’adopter facilement les changements constamment demandés et vous protéger de casser des fonctionnalités existantes.

Dans cette présentation je vais introduire le concept de Clean Architecture : ses avantages et vous aider à comprendre pourquoi cela s’appliquerait bien au développement de votre application.

Nous utilisons le concept de Clean Architecture sur l’application mobile sur laquelle je travaille et nous en voyons les bénéfices tous les jours !

Be a good citizen – Care about Android lifecycle and window size

Level: Intermediate

by Guillaume Bourassa, Mirego

Properly handling app lifecycle and window size is a challenge as old as Android itself. However, even today, many developers still don’t care enough about it, either because they don’t really understand the issue or because they think that they don’t really need to.
With Google pushing ChromeOS more and more, Android apps that work properly in a multi-window environment is more important than ever. And this requires proper lifecycle and window size understanding.

This talk will explain the different challenges of lifecycle handling, how to properly craft layouts that fits in any window size and, above all, why Android developers should care about all that. And why “my app is phone-only and locked in portrait” is not a valid reason to ignore these aspects.
