Google Developer Group held Windy City Dev Fest at Google. This is a one day conference self-described as "A 100% community organized developer conference with industry experts presenting on exciting topics!" There were many sessions geared towards Android or mobile developers. Below are the courses I attended:
Session 1: Moto Mods with Christian Flowers from the Moto Mods team
He explained the process of developing your own Moto Mod starting from your hardware idea, to the software and approval process.
Session 2: Cheat code, combo, or power up by Michelle Schulp
This talk was about the advantages of using existing code and choosing how to decide different level developer contributions.
Session 3: AR Core with Patrick Fuentes
This was a great session on augmented reality and how the technology behind it is fairly new. There was a super cool presentation on how anchors and plane finding work as well as some of the challenges such as lighting issues and reflective surfaces. Definitely an area of interest I'd like to spend some time on in the future.
Session 4: Demystifying Constraint Layout with James Williams
This session was all about the constraint layout used in developing android apps.
Session 5: Firebase Analytics for Android Live! with Stacy Devino
Stacy walked through an app she had setup for the group and was able to pull real-time analytics such as options users chose on a survey and what type of phone they were using.
Session 6: Build your own app for Google Home with Martin Omander
This was a nice presentation on how simple it is to build your own Google app for Google home.
