Grokking Realm - A New Mobile Database (Hosted by Audible)

This months meetup will be hosted by Audible in their Newark office. The talk will be given by Donn Felker (https://twitter.com/donnfelker), a Google Developer Expert on Android.

Title: Grokking Realm - A New Mobile Database

Abstract: Learn about the new mobile database on the block, Realm. With Realm you work with regular Java objects - not SQL, cursors or object mappers. These same Java objects are native to Realm. Learn how to use Realm and its reactive features to build apps faster and more efficiently without having to write a line of SQL. You'll leave with a firm understanding of how to install, setup, store and retrieve data with a Realm database. When you get back to the office you can use Realm to help you focus on solving a business problem instead of worrying about how to get your data in and out of a database.

Pizza and beer will be provided by Audible!
