Episode 125: ADB Live at the Android Dev Summit

Chet, Tor, Romain, Cyril and Zarah, laughing at
something stupid funny that Chet said.

Amongst the many talks and announcements at the Android Dev Summit 2019 was a hidden gem: the first ever live episode of this podcast!

Chet, Romain and Tor took this opportunity to have a chat with Zarah Dominguez and Cyril Mottier. Both Zarah and Cyril work as Android app developers and are known for their presentations at various Android conferences.

We talked about modernizing large codebases, Kotlin, data binding, themes & styles, and many other things. Let's not spoil the podcast here.

Episode 124: UX

Chet, Glen, Rod, and Tor. Il n'y a pas de Romain. 

In this episode, Chet and Tor talk with Rod Graves and Glen Murphy from the Android UX team.

We talked about various UX changes in Android over the years, as well as UI design in general. For example, Glen compared UX design to API design; trying to provide an interface for the users of your product that helps them build a mental model to better understand how everything fits and works together.

Episode 122: Talk Talk

Chet and Romain,
featuring a complete lack of Tor.

In this episode, Chet and Romain talk about talking, speak about speaking, monologue monologuing. We have a conversation about various aspects of giving presentations.

Everyone has their own style and techniques, and there are no right answers for giving talks that audiences enjoy. But we all have opinions and techniques that work for us; here are some of ours.

We talk about making presentations more engaging, having co-speakers, picking topics, getting practice and experience, choosing events, and all kinds of other random stuff that came up in the conversation.
