Event Description

NOTE - Date change - this meeting is on Wed the 28th!

With the introduction of Fragments in Android ICS and higher the paradigm for UI development has shifted. This also introduced the need to include a compatibility library for older devices. In this session we will explore what has changed and how to implement the new patterns. We will also look into alternative development strategies such as the use of Gradle for build and dependency management, allowing for a decoupling from Eclipse.

Mr.Gleason has been teaching Android development for about 3 years. He has presented at User Groups, Conferences, and even Google Hangout sessions. In his day job, Mr. Gleason is a J2EE Managing Consultant for Sogeti of America. In addition to his passion for open development, Mr. Gleason recently completed an MBA in finance and operations from The Ohio State University.  

This event is sponsored by Cambridge Web Design ::: Working Software Developers

Thanks!
