The Art of Android: How an Apple devotee ended up with an Android in his pocket.

A talk I've been eagerly awaiting for sometime, this is sure to be a treat. While Buck's County Tech is all about the code, sometimes it's important to look up from the 1s and 0s and make software that looks good and works well. David has always amazed me with his ability to make things look amazing and work well with seeming ease. And his passion to produce a highly polished product and desire to give users the best experience possible always shows itself in his work.

This is sure to be a wonderful talk, and one you don't want to miss.

The Art of Android: How an Apple devotee ended up with an Android in his pocket.

It’s easy to design for what you know. Its hard to design for what you don’t. These concepts sound pretty simple but when you design apps for multiple platforms, experience matters beyond the brand and users only know what’s in their hand. So how do you avoid designing in a vacuum and become your user?
