DESCRIPTION
http://fr.droidcon.com/2014/agenda http://fr.droidcon.com/2014/agenda/detail?title=Extending+your+app+to+your+wrist%3A+lessons+from+the+front Come to this session for a walk-though of real world app architecture on Android Wear. See what’s involved in creating a production-level wearable app, including code and debug walkthroughs, and concrete suggestions for new Android Wear developers. Speaker : Damien Mehers, Evernote Having developed Evernote for the Samsung Galaxy Gear, the Pebble and Android Wear, Damian Mehers has experience not only developing for wearables, but also thinking about what user-experience makes sense for wearables. Damian is a Senior Software Engineer at Evernote, based out of Geneva, Switzerland. He created the original Evernote Windows Phone client, and worked on Evernote Food for Android, and is now focused on Evernote and wearable technology, having created Evernote for the Samsung Galaxy Gear, the Pebble Smartwatch, and Android Wear. Prior to joining Evernote, Damian released an app he’d created in his spare time, which used Evernote’s open API. Evernote noticed, and he got a call from the CEO asking if he’d join the company to help build Evernote’s next generation of products. It wasn’t a hard decision. He has founded several successful software product companies, and loves the magic that is programming: turning something imagined into something real.TRANSCRIPT
