Android Best Practices and Scala
by Akshay Dashrath
Performance has always been an issue while programming in resource constrained environments, more so with Android due to the existence of an additional layer of abstraction in the form of the non-optimised Dalvik Virtual machine. Writing efficient programs for the Android platform requires a developer to bend the rules of Object Oriented Programming so as to minimise the overhead caused by an application on system resources.
This talk briefly describes the “Best Practices” that an android developer may follow in order to write code that is maintainable, readable and yet provides high performance. We’ll also explore the possibility of implementing Scala as the language of choice while programming for the platform by outlining the advantages and disadvantages of the language with respect to code efficiency, readability and maintainability.

Parkbench Panel Discussion
droidcon London 2009
A Park Bench Panel discussion has in common with a normal panel discussion that it provides a good way for experts to spend some time answering direct questions from the audience. The audience gets to know the experts in a way that is only possible in person and the expert gets a little more exposure to the questions among the audience. A Park Bench Panel discussion provides something more.
During the Park Bench Panel Discussion, everyone in the audience can join the panel. Four chairs are provided for each Park Bench Panel Discussion. At the start of the discussion, three chairs are taken by the three expert speakers of the last few hours. One chair is left open. The Park Bench Panel Discussion Leader introduced some basic rules for the session. The first rule is that anyone in the audience can join the panel, taking the empty chair available. As soon as the empty chair is taken by someone in the audience, one of the current complement of panelists will have to vacate their chair so that there is always exactly one empty chair.
The audience asked questions, whilst remaining seated in the audience, but anyone who wishes to express an opinion, will have to stand up, join the panel, by taking the empty chair. The Park Bench Panel Discussion Leader will ensure people adopt the method and that none on the panel overstays their due time. One is welcome to rejoin the panel should they find renewed interest in the conversation.
