January NYC-GDG meeting: Dependency Injection, Firebase, Polymer,etc

Sword Fighting with Dagger - Mikhail Nakhimovich

Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control are great pattern for modern Java development. Mikhail will walk us through setting up Dagger 2, Google's new DI library as well as lessons learned from managing hundreds of objects in the NYT Android App. Topics will include: Obect Scoping, Lazy instantiation and a demystification of Dagger generated code. Prior Android knowledge is helpful but not required.

After transitioning from Java Spring development, he has spent the last 3 years building Android Apps for startups before landing as the perforamance guru on the NY Times Android Framework Team. He hopes to one day find a way to speed up reflection from Android.
