DroidCon Montreal announces Keynote Speaker

I don't know about you, but winter is starting to hit hard, and because of it I"m already starting to mentally imagine warmer times.  Like May Long weekend... ahhh.

And what better way to kick off the May Long weekend than heading to La Belle Provence for DroidCon.


And, DroidCon also released some information today on their line up speakers, including one of their Keynote speakers: Dave Smith (from NewCircle).

I'm asking my boss for the time off today... maybe +Mike Wallace will let me crash on his couch.

Also, you can use code:  ANDROID-COLISEUM and you can save 20% off of the early bird pricing (right now, early bird runs until March 12, meaning it's only $263.33 for the 2 day event WITH your meals for those days, so save an extra $52 with our code!

See the media announcement below as well as some information on Dave Smith and his talk:

  • KEYNOTE: SO… YOU WANT TO BE AN ANDROID EXPERT?

    The Android framework is a behemoth. Who could possibly master all of it?

    The truth is that no one person can attain a working knowledge of the thousands of APIs that exist; but that doesn't really matter.

    Let's talk about what being an Android expert really means, and the things every developer should master if they hope to promote themselves to be among those ranks.
  • BECOME AN EXPERT: USE THE SOURCE

    Android is open source, but when was the last time you actually looked at the code?

    A working knowledge of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) will serve you well as a developer in tracking down unexpected system behaviors. Go beyond the documentation, and learn to Use the Source!

    In this session, we will take an in-depth look at the structure of the source tree in AOSP—highlighting where to find the major subsystems. You will also learn how your application process and the framework services are put together.
