5 best reports at the MBLTdev mobile developers conference 15
In the process of forming the program for the upcoming MBLTdev 16, we decided to find out what topics were concerned about mobile developers exactly a year ago. We opened the statistics of viewing MBLTdev15 video reports and made a selection with the most popular topics. So what was only HYIP, and what remains relevant to this day?
1. Consistent, Thin and Dumb
Hector Zarate, Spotify
The developers of Spotify are faced with the frequent problem of large, actively developing applications. In this report, Hector told how they achieved visual uniformity in the application with a large number of independent changes in different modules. And also, how they managed to make the application not just thin, but “stupid”, that is, not containing practically no logic. Many large projects are faced with such problems and everyone solves them in his own way; therefore, these issues continue to be relevant.
2. Application Development for Apple TV
Sally Shepard, Mostgood
In 2015, it became possible to write applications for the new tvOS. The most popular report. It was interesting to learn about the possibilities of the new platform. However, development for tvOS is a very rare phenomenon, and now very few people are interested. Sally's FYI activity was not ignored, and soon after the conference she got a job at Apple :) ')
3. Develop Wunderlist for Android
Cesar Valiente, Wunderlist
Often applications are developed in a single module. However, in the case of constant improvements, it becomes difficult to change, maintain and test. Developer Wunderlist spoke about the architecture that they used to solve these problems. Unfortunately, this architecture has not yet become ubiquitous, so the topic remains relevant.
4. Optimization of work with UITableView to achieve smooth scrolling in difficult conditions
Alexander Orlov, Postforpost
Smooth scrolling - the headache of developers. Apple has added new methods in iOS to optimize tables and collections. In addition, there are constantly new libraries that optimize work with UIKit. It seems that this topic will always be relevant.
5. Swift-like APIs
Chris Eidhof, objc.io
With all its popularity, Swift still has not got rid of its shortcomings. And even got new. The third version still does not have a stable binary interface, migration between versions is terrible. Is there something we like about him?
By the way, this year at MBLTdev 16, Keith Moon, the leading iOS developer from Just Eat, will give a talk on “Thinking in Swift” and will help developers actively using Objective-C to comfortably switch to Swift 3. He will talk about the strengths of the language: o type system, working with structures and classes, protocols and generics. He will teach you to prevent typical mistakes, show features of testing.
