First edition of November 2017
Written by anstaendig
The last weeks were packed with good content as a couple of very interesting conferences took place. Two of them were DroidCon events, one in London and the other one in New York. Keep an eye open for the talks as they all have been recorded! Another big event was the first KotlinConf in San Fransisco that just ended. So there should be more content videos out there as anyone has time watching!
Another thing to note is Google is fighting with the display issues on its newly released Pixel 2 XL. At a time where Google wants to win over more market share with their Pixel line this is a pretty big hit. It seems that the smaller version, the Pixel 2 has no such issues and seems to be a superb device.
