This talk is an introduction to beacon technologies for Android devices. We'll look at what types of beacons are out there to use, such as RadBeacons and Estimotes. We'll also discuss the different types of beacon protocols available to those beacons: Eddystone and AltBeacon. We'll walk through exactly how each of these protocols work and how to implement them into your application using either Google's Proximity Beacon API coupled with Nearby Messages API and also with the AltBeacon library. So join us for the ins and outs of beacons on Android to better your user's location and proximity experiences.

React has been on your radar for some time but you don't know the best way to dive in to the ecosystem. There are so many awesome libraries but it's hard to distinguish between what's necessary and what's addressing a pain-point you don't yet have.

In this talk, we will consider some strategies for learning React and some of React's core principles. From there, we will discuss how taking a component-based view of our front-end can help us build an application architecture that scales over time. Finally, we'll examine some important libraries in the React ecosystem and what problems they are working to solve.

We'll live code a mobile and web app that shares a theme and resources, as well as adjusts its layout according to screen size.

If enough people RSVP, we'll get pizza and refreshments for attendees.

The event will also be live streamed. Stay tuned for the link.
