Ready to level up your wearable game? Join us for an awesome evening dedicated to all things Wear OS!
We've got Yuri (yes, that Yuri – globetrotting developer extraordinaire and open source legend behind OkHttp and Horologist!) coming to share his insider knowledge on building engaging Wear OS apps.
Join us for a fun, informal meetup where we’ll explore building engaging apps for smartwatches, from integrating with phone apps to showing off what’s new with the Complications API and Compose. We’ll also share tips on UX best practices, how AI-powered tools can help you level up your wearable projects, and—of course—how to make sure everyone knows what time it is.
Plus, we'll have another exciting talk (details coming soon!) focusing on real-world Wear OS experiences and use cases.
Whether you're a seasoned Android developer or just curious about the world of wearables, this meetup is for you. Get ready for some hands-on insights, best practices, and a chance to chat with fellow developers.
Come join us for a fun and informative evening! Let's make some awesome Wear OS apps together!
