Enhancing Mobility: Integrating CarPlay into your iOS App
In this presentation, we will explore the integration of CarPlay into an existing iOS app, specifically for playing audio. The talk will cover the technical aspects of CarPlay integration, including the use of CarPlay APIs, ensuring compatibility, and maintaining a user-friendly interface that complies with Apple's guidelines and safety standards. We'll also share insights into design considerations and challenges encountered during the integration process with the Yoto iOS App.
Better Together
Across the mobile industry, there is often this great divide between the two platforms, iOS, and Android. The consumer arguments of which side is better, and what phones are better regularly leak into our work and quite frankly taint our ability to make great applications for our users. As developers, we are sometimes subject to the whims and biases of designers and product managers. However, we have to take responsibility for ensuring that our mobile products as a whole are enjoyable and consistent for our users.
At Monzo, there is a culture of collaboration, which has resulted in the mobile apps becoming closer and closer in feature parity. However, there are still issues, and definitely lessons from the past, which I will detail in this talk. I will also delve into the issues with the more black and white thought processes that plague the industry, what damage they can cause and how much of a detriment to your product they can be. She will then go on to explain how, by working together and appreciating the benefits of both sides, you can ultimately design and build apps that everybody will love, and also be happier in our work.
Beating the burn - how to tackle mental health at work
Mental Health in the workplace is becoming an ever-increasing topic of conversation. In this wide-ranging talk, I will explore the steps you can take as a professional to reduce your risks of suffering from burnout, and how you can tackle the symptoms should you already be suffering.
I will also share my own experiences, how I applied the above methods to start on the path of self-improvement and how I have started to share this knowledge with the community and within my workplace. I will discuss how employers can provide quality assistance as well as cultivating a culture that allows employees to feel comfortable sharing how they are feeling about their work.
From this talk, you should be able to address any potential problems in future, and also be more understanding for your colleagues, helping team dynamics and management skills.
