Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to attend and speak at iOSDevUK in Aberyswyth, a lovely Welsh town by the sea.

I am indeed a little late to the party, but now that developer season is over for another year, I thought I’d finally dive into the nitty gritty of Android M, to see what’s around the corner for Android Developers to wow their users with.

Google just released it’s latest update to the Android Support Library and it’s a big one. ActionBarActivity has been deprecated in favor of AppCompatActivity, AppCompatDialog has been introduced and Drawables can now be tinted as well as a heap of other features.

I enjoyed watching the Apple Event last week. As usual their passion for cutting edge hardware and their super smooth sales pitch makes it a pleasure to watch. One thing I amongst many others didn’t expect to appear is ResearchKit.
