We recently completed the IFA 2014, and this has led us to think: what events there throughout the year about Android? We’re talking about events that are a little more specific to this ecosystem, and not as Business where manufacturers submit their devices, but can not get to talk about Android News or other similar issues.
So today we told you about some of them, although it would be impossible to mention all, because the list is long. Although at the end of the article I had a link to one of the best websites to keep abreast of all the events that will .
Google I / O
No doubt the premier event for any follower of Android is the Google I / O , which Google is celebrating just before the start of summer. It is a developer congress which Google uses to present and discuss their applications and tools and open Internet technologies .
Why is it important? Basically because it’s a conference hosted by Google , the head of Android. But as we can see in recent years, Android has been one of the central themes of the event . Specifically, the past year has presented Android L, Android Wear, Android Auto and Android TV, or projects like Android One, among many other projects.
In fact, over the days in which it is held the event, we will have available different tracks to continue. And Android has its own. There, we can not only see the new products showcased new versions of Android, but tricks and information on tools needed to develop this ecosystem, such as Android Studio as an example.
this year, attend this event is for lucky , since the tickets have been sold by lot. This has been to give equal opportunity to all, as in previous years were running really short time. Although for all of us who were less fortunate, we have the option of following the streaming live of many of the talks, especially the keynote inaugural .
Free From The Android give track as closely as possible each year because we believe it is one of the most anticipated moments of the year. Or is it not a sufficiently important event to pay attention?
Droidcon
Droidcon is a series of conferences organized where exclusively talking about Android and products related to it . In fact, Google often collaborator, but then many manufacturers add to the party, and will see talks from some workers from companies like Sony or Paypal, among others. They touch Therefore, as more commercial Programming technical issues on products and services, such as testing may be in the cloud. In this way, we can have talks on pure and development, embedded solutions, augmented reality, games, business solutions, and more.
This is, therefore, a conferences designed to create a global network for developers and companies . So much so that even find people looking to hire programmers. So it may be a good choice even if we get a job. Although, one of the most important things is to know professional colleagues .
are annual events and best of all it has many locations , so in reality, over a year we have many events droidcon those who attend . Specifically, we having it in Spain since 2012, which was first in Murcia, for from the second edition, switch to Madrid . But if we go to another country, here we can see a map with the locations they currently have, but are added every year more and more:
As we can see, mostly they are focused on Europe , something to be welcomed, because often the most interesting conferences are on the other side of the pond.
Personally, I was droidcon in 2012 in London and found it very interesting. They were days of talks where we saw running augmented reality, gave Sony SmartWatch 2 (yes, then it was Sony with wearables) or for example had a live chat with the CEO of OUYA, then newly started project. Apart from the lectures, including snacks for networking with people (up cupcakes with Andy) and nightlife included.
Because, after all, is not all work. And that’s how we got the call interest worldwide and are a very enjoyable conference . And all for a price affordable (from 50 € the have come to see), we will save money because even if you buy tickets in advance. So it only remains to see the dates of each site and choose
Big Android BBQ
Y for we see that all is not center in the talks, we can find events that are directly BBQs Android . But we believe are frivolous, for large manufacturers, developers and other companies that play important roles in the Android ecosystem participate in it .
is another event, this time to Across the pond, to approach to all professionals in our industry , trying to be at least tense may encounter. With a barbecue!
This year in particular we can hear for example Reto Meier , one of the greatest for me on Android, it even has books on advanced Android development might be considered one of the bibles of Android. Prices range from $ 75 . Undoubtedly, another event to attend if we were in those lands.
Other Events
But this leads us to think, are there more events? The answer is simple: there are many events, even local hackathons … your focus is Android . In fact, it would be very difficult to follow them all, but thankfully, there are some pages that collect these events , allowing us to view events there each year, and any information about them. For me this is the best:
