Overview
As 2022 is coming to an end it’s a great time for me to reflect on things that happened throughout the year - therefore, I wanted to relive some of these moments by jotting them down here.
The first thing that comes to mind is one of the largest mobile development conferences in Europe - droidcon London 2022.
If you’ve never heard of droidcon, it’s one of the best excuses for the Android platform community to catch up in person to socialize & share expertise as well as best practices through workshops and talks. Learn more & find the nearest one to you on droidcon.com!
The Conference
During the 2-day conference, there were 100+ tech talks across 5 simultaneous tracks. I’ll barely scratch the surface here, but I’ll give it a shot anyway.
Without further ado, let’s address the elephant in the room.
ASOS talks
I’m an Android engineer at ASOS, so I’m really stoked to see my colleagues bring 2 talks to the conference this year 👏
Here’s the thing. Call me biased, but Savvas & Ed were great! So be sure to check them out.
