Ravi's session comes to an end. Break for 10 mins. Next on plate are the app demos.
11:45 AM
Few Bar jokes apart, Ravi showed how to make slider bars vertical, from the default horizontal, Create AsyncTask class for HTTPRequest, and won't have to worry about the threadpool, as its already there.
Ravi's gonna share the slide, so please hold on for the URLs and the pics.
11:26 AM
Ravi takes over, says his topic name is not "Know Thy Code" but is "Know framework Code"
The code he will be taking thru are Applications, Application Framework, and Libs. But most of it will be the framework.
A link will be shared to download the framework in TAR, and extract the code to put it in eclipse. Now you can navigate to these extracted code in eclipse when you are working on your app.
11:25 AM
There is going to be a hackathon for Tablets. People interested should contact Amrit.
11:13 AM
Zero budget marketing is about Value to users, viral loops, Company Blog etc and NOT FB pages, Tweets, SEO, Adwords etc.
Raman's session comes to an end.
11:00 AM
Viral loops work for the promotion of the app, without the creator's effort. Viral loops have to be part of the Apps DNA. e.g. 4Square.
Lots of discussion about going viral. The backfire (Color), The intentional (Zynga), The unintentional (Angry Birds)
10:53 AM
