Besides the giants like Facebook, Google and Twitter only a few smaller companies are able to work at scale. Skyscanner Budapest stepped on this exciting journey last year and set the goal: enable more and more engineers inside the company to work together on Skyscanner’s apps but at the same time keep our pace and fix release schedule that allows us iterative development.
My presentation aims to be an insider-tour in Skyscanner’s engineering culture and more specifically in the daily routine of our Budapest-based mobile app development team: we are 40 engineers working to satisfy the needs of over 40 million travellers. It is also a story about how we slowly evolved from coders to product engineers whose most important job is to creatively solve complex problems.
We haven't reached the end of our journey yet, however we think that our first learnings can be interesting for others.
.NET Fest 2018. Alex Pshul. Xamarin + Azure Maps = Waze in no timeNETFest
Creating a navigation app is a lot of work. You will have to maintain different code bases for essentially the same code, learn different languages and create a powerful enough backend to support all of your users. At least it used to be that way. In this session, we are going to see how Xamarin allows us to maintain a single code base, written solely in .Net, while Azure Maps will provide us with all of our backend needs for navigation. By combining these two powerful tools, we are going to (try) build a decent competitor for the well-known Waze app.
A project related to Augmented Reality and it's the Proposal and Feasibility report presentation. i.e 10% presentation.
I want to help the beginners in this field and to give them the basic help about my project field.

During this first session I will present a step-by-step scenario which leads me to create a modeling tool for a Mindstorms Robot. This tool will allow users to define the choreography of a robot: moving forward, rotating, grabin or releasing objects.
From the specification of a dedicated metamodel to the creation of custom graphical editors, including properties views and advanced edition tools, you will see concretely the main stages of a Sirius-based modeling tool's inception.
SenchaCon 2016: Ext JS App Modernization Showcase - Richard MiloneSencha
Many companies would like to do away with their legacy apps, but the process of applying a new UI technology can be daunting. CNX has made a business out of modernizing legacy apps by using Ext JS, with an emphasis on the IBM i platform (formerly AS/400) and the CNX Valence Modernization Suite. In this session, Richard will walk through the process CNX uses and share some app modernization success stories.

Mobile media module part 6 - app development rev-mfMichelle Ferrier
The Mobile Media Module is designed as a two-week, broad-based study on the mobile landscape that can be applied in many courses.
The program was implemented at Ohio University’s Scripps College of Communication to support our Scripps Innovation Challenge and to build knowledge of the mobile landscape across our communication curricula.
For implementation, we brought in an expert in mobile development to teach in four existing classes over two weeks in Spring 2013. Faculty teaching those classes became the students and built their capacity to teach the material in subsequent semesters.
By “hacking the curriculum” using the “module method,” we were able to reach more than 500 students in one semester with new material.
For more information, contact Dr. Michelle Ferrier, associate dean for innovation, Scripps College of Communication, ferrierm@ohio.edu.
XPages Application Layout Control - TLCC March, 2014 WebinarHoward Greenberg
The Application Layout control may be the most useful and powerful tool available to an XPages developer. A well designed Application Layout can be used to provide a consistent design across all of your XPages applications and increase your XPages development productivity. This webinar will cover how to enable and design the Application Layout in a custom control to provide a consistent user interface. We will compare several application layout design strategies that can be used with the Application Layout control and use the Application Layout control with the Bootstrap4XPages project to create a responsive design for desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

In addition to the XPages mobile controls, we will show the same application built using the free mobile tools available from OpenNTF. You will leave the session with practical examples of how to take the first step to putting a fresh mobile face on your applications and everything that goes with it.
Enhance mobile app testing with performance-centric strategies: SauceCon 2022NITHIN S.S
In mobile app spaces, with all these evolving technologies and competitors, performance plays an important role in terms of delivering a seamless end-user experience. Improving performance has become the top priority for all global mobile app companies, as it directly impacts user experience, retention rates, conversions, and ultimately revenue.
Even if we deliver a brilliant feature, if there are performance issues people will eventually stop using those apps. As high-performing apps are user favorites, we testers should also adopt performance-centric strategies while testing mobile apps.
In this talk, you will learn about:
- Basic types of mobile apps
- An overview of important performance metrics to consider
- Basics and importance of mobile app performance testing with trends and parameters
- Factors to consider while evaluating an app’s performance & ideas to prepare a performance-oriented testing strategy
- Best practices and tools to consider for providing valuable insights to stakeholders
- Quick glance at the rise of 5G and its impact in the mobile app space

Don Thorp & Marshall Culpepper: Advanced Titanium Development for AndroidAxway Appcelerator
In this presentation, we will provide an overview of native Android tooling and some of its uses. We will also cover several Android specific concepts and APIs and discuss how you can use them when creating a best of breed application.
Tooling
- DDMS
- adb (Android Debug Bridge)
- android (Downloading SDKs, Managing AVDs)
APIs
- Android Lifecycle Events
- Intents, Activities, Notifications
- Javascript Activities
- Resources
- Android Section of tiapp.xml
In our daily work we are often faced with rapidly changing requirements and environments. Tand the lean principles in combination with JavaScript provide us a great toolset for solving a lot of common problems.
Lean JS is centered around the principle of quickly preserving value with less work. It’s about being less wasteful and shortening the product development cycles by adopting a combination of business-hypothesis-driven experimentation, iced by iterative product releases and validated learning.
It`ll result in a ramped-up lead time with less waste, and empower your team to reach its goals more effective.
In this talk we will show you practical examples and demonstrate how to avoid common pitfalls in a world with a lot of unknown unknowns.
