Martin Omander is a program manager at Google who presented on Firebase. Firebase is a NoSQL, JSON database that allows pushing data in milliseconds and has real-time capabilities. It can be used for real-time collaboration, syncing data across clients, and building smart clients. Omander demonstrated some sample apps built with Firebase, including a collaborative Tetris game. Firebase also supports features like authentication, security rules, transactions, queries, hosting, and offline support. Omander emphasized that Firebase allows building applications without having to manage servers yourself.

● Examined 12,000 software projects.
● Programmers write 325-750 lines of code
per month.
● Choice of programming language and
tools don’t influence that number.

Write code on the highest abstraction
level you can get away with.
