Architecture

There's a fundamental truth in web development that we often forget: the client is always lying. Not maliciously, necessarily. But every pixel rendered in a browser, every byte sent over the wire, every [...]

Object oriented programming is no silver bullet, like any other paradigm. So, how to pick the right one? You simply don't. Modern programming languages are slowly adopting multiple paradigms, and for good reasons. [...]

Server-side rendering (SSR) is back in the spotlight-and React is evolving fast. In this workshop, we’ll go deep into the mechanics, performance trade-offs, and modern techniques of SSR with React.js. You'll start by [...]

Modern mobile apps rely on dozens of third-party SDKs for analytics, payments, ads, monitoring, and more. While these SDKs accelerate development, they also introduce hidden costs that are rarely discussed: slower startup times, [...]

With Android 15 introducing a 16 KB page size option, it’s essential to prepare your app to meet this new standard for both performance and compliance. This session breaks down the process into [...]

The world of cross-platform development is rapidly evolving, with Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform leading the charge for creating shared codebases that work seamlessly across Android, iOS, and beyond. Let's dive into building [...]

As Android projects scale, the need for better modularization becomes critical—not just for maintainability, but also for build speed and developer efficiency. In this talk, we'll dive deep into techniques for creating a [...]

In this talk, we will go through 4 chapters (origins, maze, metamorphosis, legacy) I faced when I refactored our Monolith iOS project using SPM and afterward - alongside my team members - figured [...]

In most applications we write, the core domain model with all its crucial business logic only lives in the backend to ensure consistent behavior of a system. With Kotlin multi-platform, that same domain [...]

What makes software complex? In this talk, we’ll dive into the various forms of complexity that software teams face, offering insights into how to measure and manage them effectively. From bad architectural decisions [...]

In this session, I explore the transformation to becoming a more effective architect through pragmatism. Drawing inspiration from "The Pragmatic Programmer" book, I discuss the core principles of pragmatic architecture, striking a balance [...]

The emergence of SwiftUI and State-driven programming has led to the rise in the introduction of various architectures, and among them, The Composable Architecture (TCA) has been one of the most widely adopted [...]

Change is the only constant, and it has been shaping the software industry for decades. During this period, numerous lessons have been learned. This session will explore five rules of thumb that facilitate [...]

Feature modules, App modules, Dynamic features if we create an app now everybody says we need spilt up our app in multiple module which is good design. But how and when should we [...]

Humans have small working memory but good pattern matching skills. The problems we want to solve are large and complex. How can the approach we take make it easier to deal with complexity, [...]

NOTE: Due to circumstances Ibrahima will join us via video connection and recorded session. Are you tired of struggling with state management and complexity in your app, especially in SwiftUI? Enter The Composable [...]

Good architecture smooths the development path of your app for years to come. Bad architecture results in developers spending more time maintaining code and fixing bugs than adding features. So what does good [...]

Although APIs are really, really great, many developers are unaware of the technical and non-technical risks associated with using them. When an API is integrated into an application, it becomes a new dependency [...]

The 5 SOLID principles - popularised by "Uncle" Bob Martin in some of his highly influential books on Object Orientated Software development - are rarely cited directly but they are nevertheless at the [...]

Last year the ANWB introduced navigation into their iOS App. It’s a single map with bottom-drawers that displays content. But using VIPER’s Wireframes and Coordinators to push/pop content seemed complex. Not only navigation [...]

SwiftUI Architectures: Building maintainable Apps with Declarative UI Good architecture is crucial to the maintainability, testability, and consistency of an application. With the introduction of SwiftUI, Apple has taken a giant step towards [...]

There’s nothing more exciting than starting on a new project. But sometimes, there’s nothing scarier. You’re starting out with a clean slate, so now is your chance to do everything right. Perfect, even. [...]

The idea of Aspect Oriented Programming has been around for 20 years. But even today, it’s seldom used in Android application development. AOP is a powerful tool and complement to OOP, to add [...]

Generics & Extensions in Swift Generics improve reusability of code in a dynamic language style, while retaining compile time type safety. With generics we can copy some of freedom known from dynamically-typed languages [...]

If your app became a worldwide sensation tomorrow, would you be ready? In this talk, we'll discuss the many ways in which scaling can go wrong. Then we'll work through how to architect [...]

The hot topic of the year(s) is Compose: the new declarative way of building native UI on Android. Combine theory and practice by defining the key concepts of Compose and write the code [...]

We as Mobile Competence Center of the Dutch Tax and Customs Office already make mobile apps for 10 years for the Dutch Tax and Customs office but also for other government organisations. We [...]

iOS and Android apps these days often have a non-negligible volume of code, an architecture that is constantly in motion and thereby a growing complexity.When working with such large code bases, the process [...]

This talk will cover how to build an Android app with Jetpack Compose and Firebase products, using a real To-do application as an example. Jetpack Compose became stable last year and has been [...]

SwiftUI makes it easy to create beautiful UIs in no time, but it is just as easy to end up with a giant view that mixes view code and business logic. Fortunately, Apple [...]

In this talk we're going to explore what dependency injection is and why it's a good idea to use in your projects. Then we'll take a look at the two most popular dependency [...]

Nowadays, the mobile world has started to see larger adoption of the declarative style to build UI as opposed to the (not so) old imperative style. This pattern is borrowed from the web [...]

In this talk, I will share from my experience working on Spotify's iOS application some architecture challenges that we faced and what were the team's approach to overcome some of these challenges. Zoom [...]

Software architecture can help you to fail fast. Why fail fast, because the faster you fail in your development process, the faster you fix and the more you decrease your risk of releasing [...]

Reddit has grown and continues to grow both as an organization and a product. Consequently, the Reddit iOS app was placed under heavier demands. The app needed to support more feature requests, faster [...]

NOTE: The session video unfortunately lacks the first part of the recording. We thought that it's still better to share the rest of the talk.  My company has one of the largest mobile [...]

Abstractions are meant to simplify things, but often make things more complicated. This talk highlights common pitfalls in abstraction, and contrasts the OOP approach with Data Oriented Design, a paradigm popular in realtime [...]

Operating a high-load mobile application and its backend on a daily basis while continuously adding new features and preventing everything from collapsing is a difficult job. Numerous external services and APIs, continuous refactoring [...]

As Android developers, we face many challenges like handling life-cycle events, persisting data, maintaining view state, etc. Our constant struggle for a good architecture was not left unnoticed, Google stepped up and gave [...]
