Friend of the show Dan Lew makes a return! In this show Kaushik talks to Dan about translating an app for other languages.

2016's first installment of a grand bonanza of tips and tricks for #AndroidDev! Donn and Kaushik talk about all the tips and tricks they've picked up over the first part of this year.

In this episode we talk to Trello Engineer, GDE, Youtuber, Caster IO instructor and View magician Huyen about all things custom View/ViewGroups.

Everyone loves Retrofit & okHttp. But how did they come about? Why ok? What was the need for such libraries? We went knocking on the doors of Square trying to find the answers to these question. We were lucky cause we found probably the nicest most brilliant Android/Java developer of our times - our good friend Jesse Wilson and without surprise, he crushes it!

He gives us the scoop on the origin stories of these amazing libraries and also gives us insight into okio and why it's such a game changer today.

We've always been curious about technology and the software surrounding embedded devices and the like. One such technology that's ubiquitous these days is Bluetooth (LE). In this show we talk with embedded technology expert and all round super smart AndroidDev Dave Smith a.k.a the wonderful devunwired.

We try to get a high level understanding of how Bluetooth works. From a developer's perspective, how does this tech work? Why should we as AndroidDevs be interested in this technology. What boundaries can we push? How can we effectively use this technology? In this episode we pick Dave's brain and try to answer some of these questions.

In Part 2 of our Google IO special we continue asking some simple questions to the best AndroidDev today. This concludes our IO special for this year. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

By popular demand we added some extra specials at the very end, so make sure to listen all the way through :)

In Part 1 of our Google IO special we talk to a whole bunch of amazing AndroidDev. We go around asking them a few simple questions. Questions, that you probably thought to ask when you saw them in person, but just forgot to.

Oh and you really should listen all the way to the end :)

Stay tuned for Part 2 where we talk to another list of top notch Android developers and get their answers for these questions.

In this mini Fragment, Donn talks about one of his favorite topics, YAGNI. YAGNI is an acronym that stands for "You Arent Going To Need It". Donn explains what it is, why its useful and shares a personal story of how he was introduced to the YAGNI concept back in 2008.

In this mini episode, we talk with the lovely Kelly Shushter about Internal Library Dependency Management. Kelly is a GDE, the Director of Women Who Code (Denver chapter), a developer at Thoughtbot, a mind blowingly good AndroidDev and just an all round boss of everything.

She gives us the rundown explaining different strategies for maintaining and managing internal libraries in your organization/company.
