What does Recomposition mean to your app?

You’ve heard a lot that Jetpack Compose is a declarative UI toolkit and it recomposes only the components that changed. But what does it exactly mean? How does it apply not only in the scale of one composable function but the entire app? Well, it turns out there is more than meets the eye when it comes to recomposition, and in this talk, we will deep dive into its benefits, costs, and gotchas. You’ll learn some practical tips to efficiently build functions in Jetpack Compose.

Reactive approach to delegation in Kotlin

This talk about delegation and delegated properties in Kotlin and how to incorporate them into your custom views and to make them react immediately to new data. It showcases the usage of delegated properties in custom views and also enhances the mvi pattern when dynamically adding different views based on multiple user interactions

Level up your extension game

In this talk I'll go over some good and bad practices about using extensions in Kotlin, as well as use cases for the Kotlin's standard and Android KTX extension functions.

Debugging the Engineering Interview Process

In today's competitive job market, mastering the interview process is more crucial than ever. But before mastering the process, you need to identify your flaws, and this is where the debugging technique comes in handy.

This session dives into strategies for dissecting and improving each stage of the interview. You will:

- Analyze 'error logs' from interview feedback, even if there is none,
- 'Refactor' your interview techniques,
- 'Optimize' your approach to coding challenges and behavioral questions.

Aimed at junior engineers, this session provides the tools to 'debug' your interview strategy, approaching each step with the clarity and precision of solving a coding puzzle.

Animating your way into Jetpack Compose

Long gone are the days of having to implement inflexible animations along with their listeners and having to manage them in view lifecycles. By using Animation API from Jetpack Compose, to handle transitions/motion, and callbacks, you can now declaratively write concise maintainable animations for your apps. In this talk, you'll learn a variety of composable functions that can be applied to screens/views/custom shapes.

Building Bridges: Effective One-on-One Strategies for Engineers

Effective one-on-one meetings are a cornerstone of professional growth, especially for junior engineers looking to navigate their career paths successfully. This talk is tailored to demystify the art of one-on-one conversations with peers, managers, skip-levels, and direct reports.

Whether you're looking to improve collaboration, seek mentorship, or discuss career aspirations, this talk will provide you with the framework to make every one-on-one an opportunity for impactful dialogue and personal development.

Bridging Codes and Cultures in Remote Tech Updates

In our global and remote work environments, the shift from traditional British or literary English to clear, concise technical communication is paramount, especially as developers face the constant barrage of information through platforms like Slack and Zoom.

This session will dive into the nuances of crafting technical announcements that stand out, ensuring your message is not only heard but remembered.

We'll break down the elements that make tech updates engaging and effective, from the language and tone to the structure and delivery.

By providing actionable tips and real-world examples, this talk aims to equip you with the skills to write announcements that resonate with your diverse team, fostering a culture of clarity and inclusiveness in a digital workspace where attention is a scarce commodity.

Android Builds: Simple Recipes to Enhance Developer Productivity

Diving into Android build optimizations, this talk revisits seemingly minor adjustments that hold untapped potential for speeding up your build process.

Often overlooked or underestimated, these simple tweaks can be game-changers in enhancing build efficiency. I'll share insights from my experience at Toast where basic changes led to significant improvements, reminding you to give these solutions a second glance.

Whether it's fine-tuning gradle properties, leveraging incremental builds, or optimizing resource usage, this session aims to highlight the often-skimmed solutions that might just be the key to a faster build.

This session is ideal for developers looking to improve build times and enhance productivity, demonstrating that sometimes, the most impactful optimizations are also the most accessible.
