The digest of interesting materials for the mobile developer # 242 (February 19 - February 25)

This week in our selection of virtual reality, Flutter, sprints and team structures, soft launch, animation and design, tools and many other interesting things.

“When I became an Android developer, there was still no place to look for examples”: interview with David Gonzalez

Android developers may know David Gonzalez due to several different things. For example, he participates in the open source project of Android Architecture Blueprints, where different architectural approaches are demonstrated with specific examples (the project has recently crossed the boundary of 25,000 GitHub stars). He also delivers reports, is engaged in the Belgian Kotlin User Group, previously actively wrote blog posts - in general, it helps the community in many ways, and the title of Google Developer Expert is not surprising.
