First Talk: Dynamic Content Providers: Having Your KitKat and Eating it Too

Brief Description: Content Providers are a key architectural component for making Android apps work well and robustly. We'd like to use them, but we'd like to avoid writing and maintaining them. Hmm... Let's see if we can have it both ways. We'll look briefly at the purpose and implementation machinery of standard SQLite-backed content providers, and discover how -- even in the strongly typed Java world -- we can take a step toward a dynamic provider, gaining speed and fun while ditching code and bugs.

Second Talk: Extending your app: Building for Glass and Wear

Brief Description: Android has made some large strides into wearables, but it’s not always clear how Glass and Wear are related. Learn how to build for the two platforms and what distinguishes them from each other.
