Besides their main purpose, many of them will also collect and send your private information, using your data for their own benefit. For the past 18 months, we've been working on a solution that blocks all those trackers from any app in your device. This talk describes in detail the technology behind it, what Android APIs are used and lessons learnt through the whole process. David González (@malmstein) tag:speakerdeck.com,2005:Talk/512110 2019-04-24T05:51:27-04:00 2019-12-02T10:27:00-05:00 Sharing code between platforms is a powerful technique, but it may be hard to accomplish without rich APIs that we have in Android, JVM, or iOS platforms. Kotlin Multiplatform libraries can be used to fix that, bringing rich APIs directly in the common Kotlin code. What an exciting frontier! In this talk we'll go over the creation of a Kotlin Multiplatform library. You'll learn how modules for each platform work, decide what parts of the code makes sense to share and what doesn't. All based in the experiences gathered after creating a library at Mixtiles used to fetch images from different cloud providers.

However, In order to build robust, testable and scalable applications we need more. That's where the Unidirectional Data Flow architecture comes in, borrowed from Flex and Redux on the web. The approach is based on the idea of an immutable state that represents the state of our app. All the components are decoupled from each other, and they work together taking advantage of Kotlin's language features. We solve the asynchrony problem using Coroutines, specifically Channels and Actors. Do you want to know more? This talk will guide you through our implementation of this paradigm, with clear steps and a detailed explanation that will help you understand its value and spark your curiosity!

You are not alone! There are many tools, practices and services that will make your life easier... and efficient! Several months ago David joined Help Scout as the only Android Developer with the main purpose of building their Android application from scratch. Coming from an agency environment where there were more than 30 developers willing to discuss and present different ideas, it's been quite a challenge. This talk shares David's experience, explaining what tools, practices and methodologies he's followed. Being the only developer is no impediment to build great quality code, follow good design patterns and delight your users. How to do Pull Requests, Code Reviews, Design Reviews, Continuous Delivery and Integration... Whether you are a one man band or work with a team, these tips will help you become a better programmer!

Technical debt is anything that increases the difficulty of reading code. As software engineers we spend most of the time reading code, and our job is to understand it and modify it in order to do more things with it. If we can’t understand the code, or we can’t even find it, the amount of technical debt accumulated will be over the roof.
