Session 1
Title: From Zero to Hero: Intro to Jetpack Compose live coding session

Facilitator: Maia Grotepass

You don't know anything about Jetpack Compose? Don't worry! I've got you covered. In this session I will give a quick overview to explain how it fits into the Android ecosystem and how to approach thinking in Compose. We will then jump into a simple code lab where I will demonstrate some of the benefits, and build a simple screen, so you can see it in action.

About Maia:

My first ever computer was a ZX81 and there was no Internet. Fast forward many years... I now work at Luno on Android using Kotlin. What happened inbetween is a blur. If you search me on the Internet, you will see I love presenting Android topics and I love building and experimenting in code.

Session 2
Title: Moving on - what's new in Compose 1.1

Facilitator: Thomas Künneth

Since Jetpack Compose 1.0 became stable in July 2021, Google has published quite a few beta versions and release candidates of the successor Compose 1.1. The new version finalizes some experimental apis and introduces a couple of new composable functions. This talk shows the most interesting changes. For example, you will learn about NavigationRail() and how to use it to make your apps shine on large screen devices. The second part of the talk introduces you to Material3 for Compose, which brings Material You to Compose apps.

About Thomas:

Thomas Künneth fell in love with Android in 2009. Since then, he has been constantly contributing to the community. Thomas loves writing articles and books about mobile computing. You can frequently watch him speaking at conferences and meetups. Thomas' first encounter with programming was in the era of home computers during the early 1980s. Later came C, Perl and a few more. During the 90s he wrote a bunch of programs for the Atari ST series. The first decade of Thomas' professional career was Java. Today it’s mostly Kotlin and Dart. He leads the Mobile team at MATHEMA GmbH.
