JavaScript engines are getting faster, our laptops and mobile phones are getting more powerful however, in spite all of that, we are constantly running into sluggish web apps, choppy scrolling and jerky animations. If you want to avoid that in your projects and deliver a smooth experience to your users, you'll have to think performance. Thankfully, that's exactly what this workshop is all about! Learn how browsers work, how to measure performance, what common bottlenecks you should avoid and put your new knowledge immediately into practice.

Google TV was an early but premature attempt to extend android out of the phone. Google Glass took that a step further by providing a new UI, UX and APIs. Now with Android Wear, Android has extended to a new environment which is much adoptable than Glass. However, Wear comes with a price, with wear once again we have new UI, UX and set of APIs.
This talk intends to give a deep dive into whole new UI, UX and development tools introduced by Android L, Android Wear and the Google Glass showing ways to integrate each and offer a smooth flow between all android platforms.

Based on the stats gathered by imaginarynumbers inc., 49% of Java developers wouldn't code Java anymore if not Guava.
In fact, Guava is a wonderful library that makes Java development easier and friendlier. And it's applicable also for Android. However, many developers limit its usage to simple Collections' transformations and filters, not revealing many advantages coming with the whole lib.
During my presentation I'll also cover some android-specific topics like:
- Guava your ContentResolverish boilerplate
- 65K method limit hurts your app and Guava uses too many? Different approaches of handling this issue.
- Do's and dont's of Guava for Android.
And more!

Every front-end developer knows that Chrome DevTools rocks! It is a primary tool we work with every day. Mastering it is a must. Yet there is more to the story. Real front-end craftspersons don't use a multi-tool for every task. Instead, they use a set of specialised tools to make their work more efficient. In the Chrome world, these tools are called Chrome Extensions.
During my presentation, I will demonstrate several extensions I have built. I will explain how I built them. You'll not only learn about new tools, but you will also see how easy it is to create them!

View presentationTechnical conferences usually does not have so many women. Some have none at all. Some have 'token woman' who is simply invited because she is 'woman'. And many conferences have around 8-10% women visibility at most. Some researches also show while conferences with the soft subject matter such as user experience, web design has more women speakers and attendees, hight tech conferences have low woman proportions. The focus of this speech is on attempts to give more visibility to women at high-tech conferences. The experiences and challenges of a member of a community that organises conferences with the around 50% of women inclusion and solutions will be presented.

Nowadays if you want an application to target multiple platforms you can choose from several options. Instead of a write-once-run-everywhere solution I'll show you how to leverage modern C++ which can give you the freedom for writing reusable code while staying resource conscious. By carefully drawing the boundaries of the cross-platform and platform specific components you don't even have to give up the natural platform user experience. We will look at how these parts can be connected using the Android NDK / SDK through some real life examples.

My name is Mark. I'm 14. I'm from Uzhhorod, Ukraine. I like Lego. A year ago I tried to construct simple microscope from Lego bricks and old USB web camera. Some day I decided to embed some kind of brain into my construction. I used Lego EV3 intellectual brick. I found that my microscope become more and more interesting. I decided to send my idea to Google Science Fair. One day I received fantastic news. I was selected to 90 regional finalists. I added more efforts. Finally my robo-microscope had 3 optical systems and 4 servo motors. It has option of remote control and integration with Google Hangouts. At the same time it's still Lego construction which can be cloned in any school. I took final battle with all my 'ammunition' in Google HQ, Mountain View, September 24, 2014. It was hard battle. I didn't received grand prize. But I don't feel myself a loser. Because I have the next idea...
