Join us as Patrick Fuentes walks through an introduction on using Firebase on Android. We'll briefly survey the variety of Firebase tools Google provides before diving deeper into Firebase Realtime Database Storage.

We'll be working with through a code lab from Google, and you're encouraged (but not required) to work along if you have a laptop available. If you'd like to follow along, please have Android Studio installed and working, and feel free to download the sample code† in advance. If you're having problems, we can help out.
