ARCore + Viro: An overview of ARCore and Building Your First AR Experience - Josh Williams

ARCore is here! Google released ARCore 1.0 officially last month. We will break down Google's AR ecosystem and show how to build AR Experiences using Viro - an excellent tool that makes using ARCore simple and easy for even the average (non game) developer, specializing in providing developers the toolset to add AR experiences to non AR based applications. Let's learn how to Augment Realties with our apps.

Kotlin Testing Landscape - Yousuf Haque

Kotlin has greatly increased the ergonomics of day to day development, and the testing side of development is no exception. Kotlin's language features allow for new and innovative testing styles that can adapt to accommodate different use cases. Kotlin's terse and expressive syntax allows for incredibly readable tests, and allows for easy maintenance. This talk is a walk-through of what Kotlin's testing landscape looks like, and what tools and techniques are available to make us more effective engineers when it comes to testing

Speaker Bios:

Josh is a mobile developer passionate about writing efficient and beautiful apps for both iOS and Android. Kotlin has been an exciting addition to his tool chain of languages to help achieve this goal in both personal projects and in his role at The Food Network as Senior Android Engineer for the In The Kitchen app.

Yousuf is an Android developer at Restaurant Brands International on the Tim Hortons App. He's done client side and server side development in the past, but these days he's trying to figure out how many different ways he can use Kotlin day to day.
