XV Betabeers Almería

March 25, 2014

El pasado 25 de Marzo se celebró el XV Betabeers Almería con la colaboración del IES Al-Ándalus. En esta ocasión los temas que se trataron en las charlas del evento fueron: Diseño y Android.

Hablando de diseño (y otras cosas de molar)

Manolo Ruiz dió una interesante charla sobre diseño y nos habló de las micro-interacciones, esos pequeños detalles de diseño que hacen que algo mole. Sin lugar a dudas una gran charla, un gran profesional y una gran persona.

Android Services and Background Tasks
