## João Zão

Hey, I’m João Zão a devoted Android Developer, an Electrical and Computer Engineer with great enthusiasm in Computer Science. Creative thinker, passionate about generating ideas and bringing them to life.
My very first contact with Android was in 2011 but it only started to make part of my professional life around 2014. During that time I developed several apps in the most different areas, going from entertainment to corporate apps (IoT, mobile games, cloud). Currently I continue my relationship with the green robot at Blip, where I started to focus more on Architecture and SOLID design principles.

Talk abstract

WebView exists since the beginning of Android but its usage has been changing ever since. In this talk we will travel through the huge changes that this versatile component of the Android SDK has suffered during the times. We will also see how it is to setup a basic implementation of a well working WebView and compare the most common usages whilst pointing the pros/cons and also some curious challenges.

## Rui Mendes

Senior Android Developer @ Wetek.
Roughly 5 years working with the Android platform.
Most of his time is spent between beer, sports (mainly watching sports, not really practicing!) and a computer, with no particular order.
Tries to be funny sometimes, but usually without great success.

Talk abstract

Room Persistent Library is one of the most exciting libraries for you to build a Database. It is annotation based and provides an abstraction layer over the SQLite, thus reducing the boiler plate code. This presentation targets developers with no or limited experience with the Room Persistent Library, since the idea is to give an overview over the library features and what can be achieved with it.
