| Why should you go serverless with Google Cloud? | Stephane Karagulmez | France | [French] Dans cette session nous allons commencer par introduire une définition de ce qu'est le serverless avant de discuter des case d'usage et différentes implémentation sur Google Cloud |
| Unified API - Android12 | Nav Singh | Canada | [English] In this session, We will learn how to implement a new Unified API.
• It's a new API for handling rich content in Android applications.
• It makes it easier to handle the rich content (images, videos, etc.) all using a single API.
Which problem does it solve for developers:
With the existing APIs, each UI mechanism—such as the long-press menu or drag and drop—has its own corresponding API which means that we have to integrate with each API separately, adding similar code for each mechanism that inserts content.
The unified API consolidates these different code paths by creating a single API to implement, so we can focus on our app-specific logic and let the platform handle the rest. |

| Keynote: Driving Decisions with Data: Delight or Disaster? | Dr. Joe Perez | USA | [English] Albert Einstein has been quoted as saying, “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” Whether Einstein actually said this or not, he certainly embodied the sentiment by recognizing the value of using data to drive decisions. In fact, recent Forbes and TechJury studies have estimated that more data was created in a single minute in 2020 than the data created during Einstein’s entire life. How can all that data be put to use? Should it be driving our decision-making? To that point, in a 2018 Forrester survey of more than a thousand US companies, 91% of them said that data-driven decision-making was important to their business, while only 57% said they actually used data to make decisions in their business.
How do we bridge this gap? What do KPIs have to do with ROI? How do you get from being in “data denial” to being data driven? Why should you even care? This session will answer those questions and much more. Come see the relevance of the four V’s of Big Data. Discover three types of cognitive biases and how they are the enemies of opportunity. Are qualitative and quantitative data opposed to each other, or can they be friends? With regards to best practices for driving business decisions with data, find out how you should LOOK, LINK, LISTEN, LEVERAGE, and LEARN -- and how to make it all a delight rather than a disaster. |

| Jetpack Compose vs SwiftUI | Mohit Sarveiya | USA | [English] Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI are frameworks that allow you to build a UI programmatically. In this talk, I will compare managing state, concurrency, testing and scaffolding with both frameworks. We’ll explore the challenges of using these features on both UIs. Each of these frameworks shines in using these features and has rough edges compared to each other. Please join me in learning about Compose and SwiftUI match up so far. |
