Maven and Android in Barcelona

Published on 2010/08/30 in Android, Apache Maven, Maven Android Plugin, Maven Android SDK Deployer and Presentation. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Just a quick heads up that I will be presenting about Apache Maven usage for Android development in an updated version from my Vancouver presentation at the Google Technology User Group in Barcelona, Spain on the 10th of September. I look forward to the event and will let you know here how things went ;-)

Later..

I just came back from the presentation and uploaded the presentation file now (Maven Android Introduction GTUG Barcelona). The rest of the resources is available as part of the Maven Android Plugin Samples and the Roboguice project. The meeting itself was fun. There were over 30 other geeks in attendance and the presentation was regularly interrupted with laughter and questions, so I assume it was well received. I hope everyone learned a bit and will give Maven and Android a spin and send us some feedback.

Recap Presentation about Maven and Android

So yesterday I went over to Vancouver to present about Apache Maven and how it can be used for Android application development. There were about 20 people in the audience with a very wide range of exposure to Android development and Apache Maven. From my impression and the feedback on the meeting site everybody has learned something and had a good time. Just in case you missed it the Apache Maven and Android Development presentation slides are now available in PDF format. There is definitely a desire to introduce more power in the build process for Android application development and Maven is able to deliver that to many users.:

I am pretty happy with feedback like

  • Great presentation, lots of details from a knowledgeable speaker.
  • Great technical presentation about developing Android applications with Apache maven. Lots of details, and very well presented.
  • Got useful tips on Maven and starting with Android dev setup
  • I was looking for a command-line method of building code, so this may be a solution. Good presentation
  • Interesting presentation, will definitely check out Maven a bit more now.

How to contribute to the Maven books

Tim O’Brien recently invited me to write the Android development chapter for the book Maven: The Complete Reference and the first cut is in production on the site now. Since I aim to continue to help out with the chapter and John Yeary asked me for some help about contributing I thought I just jot a few pointers down. Don’t get daunted by my post here – it is really easy.
