Project Brief
Novoda have been at the forefront of the Android community since the start, the founders of Novoda Kevin Mcdonagh and Carl Harroch met at a conference and founded Novoda Ltd.
Their focus to create an Android community where developers can learn and discuss new technologies, trends and also share their wealth of experience has grown from strength to strength.
Currently Londroid is a community for android professionals and enthusiasts, regular meet ups are arranged to discuss various topics allowing open access to a very specialist community.
The first Droidcon conference was held in Berlin in 2009, swiftly followed by the first Droidcon London. Since then it has spread across the globe, with conferences organised in Paris, Turin, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv and even as far Bangalore!
Droidcon is an annual conference drawing developers from around the world, this is an open forum for developers to put forward their own presentations along with guest speakers to discussed pre - proposed discussions.
Budding developers can also take part in a hackathon and workshops weekend giving attendees the chance to put into practice everything learned at the conference, and form some lasting partnerships whilst bringing ideas to life! This gives fevelopers the chance to work alongside a host of other passionate Android developers to create something unique – or even win prizes. Last year, delegates won Epson’s Moverio glasses, smart watches, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.
Project Need
As well as being fun and sociable the meet ups and conferences provide valuable education sources where developers are able to learn from the experts,bounce ideas off each other and share their experiences on various projects.
