Some of the practices and techniques used to explore Android based devices as we transition beyond using just the smart phone towards using accessories and sensorts via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to wearables such as Google Glass and how to leverage the AOSP to integrate core framework APIs with third party APIs.

Topic: Google Glass is an Android device (almost) We will cover wearable computing and functional fashion. Where it has been and where it is going. Then, we will talk about the experience of picking up Glass (very different). What it is like to be in the Glass Explorer community. We will have some fun playing with Glass as the audience is asked to issue command and see the response from Glass live (this is very interesting as Glass is still in beta) We end with how to develop using the Mirror API and how to attach adb (debugger) and do native Android development on Glass. We will review my Nike+ Glassware project. Demo:: Google Glass attached to Eclipse adb Devices: Nike+ Fuelband Jawbone Up Fitbit Review of functional fashion.

This session focuses on HTML5 mobile apps with CSS3 2D/3D graphics and animation effects. You'll be surprised how easily you can deploy and launch both hybrid and "native" Android apps to Google Glass (bring your device if you have one). CSS3-based 2D/3D graphics and animation effects are actually quite nice on Google Glass, which has a 640x360 pixel screen (and 16GB storage and a 5 megapixel camera). This session discusses the mechanics of porting a famous and classic animation game to CSS3, and then porting the game to Google Glass, along with the technical challenges of actually playing this game on Google Glass. We'll also launch some apps on mobile devices, such as an iPad3 and an Android tablet with ICS or JellyBean (or later). In addition, you'll learn how to create mobile applications with CSS3 effects in Eclipse: first without the use of a plugin, and second with a plugin such as PhoneGap, and then you can compare the two techniques. We'll briefly look at an open source project for "pure CSS3" graphics/animation and another one that combines CSS3 with jQuery. We'll also explore (if time permits) code samples for mobile applications that use HTML5 Canvas. This session concludes with a book raffle of some of my books that have been published in 2013.
