I am a firm believer that everything that we do as app developers should be focused on UX – what the user experiences when using our app. While things like adding analytics gathering may not seem to be UX-related, but insights in to how users are actually using our apps and understanding the churn areas…

Maintainable Architecture – Five Day Forecast – UI Layer
Creating a maintainable, flexible codebase is not easy but is an essential part of software engineering. In this series we’ll take a look at a simple, functional weather app and look at some of the issues in its design. We shall then refactor and re-design it to create a codebase which will be easier to…

Architecture Components: LiveData
Architecture Components were announced at Google I/O 2017 and provide some frameworks to help developers create more maintainable and more robust apps. The architecture components don’t specifically do anything which will prevent apps from crashing or otherwise misbehaving, but they offer some frameworks which encourages decoupled components within the ap. This should lead to better…
