Westwing Tech Warsaw #5

Hi!
We're pleased to invite you for the next meetup in our Warsaw's Westwing office. As we're listening to your feedback and questions, this time the talks will be presented in English. Other than that, as usual, we'll provide you with interesting talks, the possibility to share experiences and something to drink :)

Planned talks:

## Helping with iOS ARKit in e-commerce industry.

How can AR help in e-commerce and create real value? Isn't it just a fancy thing which is used only for tools or gaming like Pokemon Go, is it?
We will discuss how to tailor an IT solution which will help furniture industry save a lot of money.
You will also see how to build a simple AR application with use of the real Westwing furniture.

## Communication of Android apps with backend using GraphQL

Most of us heard about REST APIs and how mobile apps use them. We'll discuss an alternative to REST - GraphQL. And how it can make life of mobile and backend developers easier. We'll build a simple Android app that uses GraphQL for communication with backend. Open source project Apollo will help us use GraphQL on Android with a minimal amount of boilerplate. You will be impressed how faster it is to build apps this way. And why lot's of companies like Github, Pinterest, WP started to use this technology.

## So you want to be efficient with your calendar?

Have you ever felt at the end of the day that the time just flew through your fingers and you did literally nothing? Even though you were busy all the time? I for sure did. And that was the moment I decided I need to change something. A few months later my calendar looks full all the time. I'm still busy through the whole day but now I again feel that I do the work I have to do.
I want to share with you what I've learned about calendar management, prioritizing, self-discipline and removing the waste. I hope it will help you in becoming at least a bit more productive in your day-to-day work.

See you all in our office!
