The digest of interesting materials for the mobile # 168 developer (August 22-28)

The new release is just a great story about Alternative Augmentation Communication, the analysis of Prisma and its competitors, for and against MVVM, the release of Android 7.0 and the periodic table in material design, which should give you back the interest in chemistry.

How to find out what kind of flowers to give to a girl, if only her head moves and she cannot speak?

AAS (Alternative Augmentation Communication) - means, ways, systems that help children and adults with serious problems in the development of verbal speech express themselves and better understand what is happening.

I looked into the Prisma application, and you will not believe what I found there

It is logical that competitors start to multiply in any popular product. The prism in this regard was most fortunate - thanks to the coincidence of certain circumstances, the main competitor to the prism became Mail.ru Group, which almost immediately released already 2 similar products with similar functions: Vinci (from vk.com team) and Artisto (from my.com team) ).
