==== The Joy of Dev Life: A Bob Ross Approach ====
Bob Ross once said “[Coders] are a different breed of people. We’re a happy bunch.” Ok, well that’s not what he said. He really said, “We artists are a different breed of people. We’re a happy bunch.” But it would be nice if we all were a happy bunch, right? So let’s take some of that Bob Ross wisdom and apply it to dev life. And then maybe we, too, can be a happy bunch.

==== Animations in Android (Jetpack Compose) ====
A new feature isn't always needed to take your application to the next level. Sometimes, all you need are a few interactive animations. What usually took days to code and test, now only takes minutes to hours!
Jetpack Compose is Android’s modern toolkit for building native UI. It simplifies and accelerates UI development on Android. In this session, we’ll discuss how to think through and implement animations with Jetpack compose.
