\n<\/div>\n\n

So my trip to the Droidcon UK<\/a> is coming to an end. It has been a great two days. Droidcon UK\u00a0brought together key players in the Android Mobile industry and 1000+ talented developers and designers to\u00a0discuss the best of business, design, and development on the Android platform. It\u2019s Europe\u2019s largest Android Developer event!<\/p>\n

Day one<\/strong> was Barcamp day, an \u2018unconference\u2019-style day where attendees where invited to present short talks based on their professional interests.
\nBesides a talk about “Device fragmentation, done the right way<\/a>” which a colleague of mine gave, one of the best talks was given by Bitbar<\/a> about a product called testdroid<\/strong>. Have a look<\/a> at one of their products.<\/p>\n

Day two<\/strong> was the conference day. It featured talks from industry experts alongside large Android players such as\u00a0Google,\u00a0Facebook and\u00a0Sony.
\nGreat talk where given by Mark Murphy<\/a> (CommonsWare), Cyril Mottier<\/a> (Prixing) on the Fly-in app, Matt Gaunt<\/a> (Google) on developing\u00a0for Google TV, Corey Latislaw<\/a> (Chariot Solutions) on Fragments, and Simon Cross<\/a> (Facebook) on Open Graph.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event coincides with the 5th anniversary of the launch of Android, So celebrate this special milestone, they organized an Android hackathon.<\/p>\n

In conclusion a great event, and hope I’ll be back next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
