Another month, another meetup! This time we'll be visiting OpenWeb's office in Nieuwegein (near Utrecht) and learn about your favorite build system: Gradle!

TALK 1:

Forging a Gradle plugin for Android.
Ever wondered how to build a Gradle plugin? Why even consider a Gradle plugin over logic in your build files? What about Android projects and testing the plugin? In this talk we will be casting a basic Gradle plugin, then we grind it to perfection with some more advanced techniques. Let’s get forging!

Rolf Smit, Android Developer @ Open Web, currently working for Ahold Delhaize (Albert Heijn app)

TALK 2:

Fighting incremental times.
Let's talk about how to measure your build times, what contributes to the build times, how we can troubleshoot the easy things, how to speed up annotation processing, what is philosophy in the updating build dependencies to the latest and beyond all of these.

In this live session, I will take an open-source application and show some simple technics about how to make the incremental build faster.

Eugen Martynov @ Yolt
