The growbotron, an iPhone powered farm. Not farmville.... a real farm.
I wanted to try my hand at indoor gardening, so I began the process and found so many repetitive tasks, measuring PH, watering, ensuring proper humidity, fans to cool the plants down, timers that need to be adjusted to control the amount of light.
So, like an good engineer, I made "an app for that", and so was born Growbotron!

Git on Android: Spreading Rebellion
A distributed version control system lets projects spread like fire in dry grass- and if the aim is to make the flame spread, it should be able to reach even the device resting in your pocket. Developing a Git client for Android threw up a bunch of interesting challenges; from low-level bug-hunting in the source of Android to unusual UI tricks. This talk describes those challenges, the curious bugs found, and the resulting Grand Tour of open-source projects; patching Android and even Git itself.

Test Driven Android
Join Cheezy as he reveals the secret of delivering a fully tested, high quality Android application. Following an Acceptance Test Driven approach, Cheezy will begin by writing an outer loop of acceptance tests.

This fast paced, hands on session will demonstrate how acceptance tests combined with unit tests can be used to deliver high quality Mobile Applications.

Be brave, dive in and lead the testing for mobile apps
Mobile apps are threatening to engulf software development at many organisations large and small. Even organisations at the vanguard are struggling to find ways to develop and test their mobile apps, and the rest are either much further behind or yet to dip their toes in the water.
Let's find ways to incorporate testing and validation of our mobile apps. This session will provide a catalyst for some of you, for others perhaps you're already making progress so it'll provide another perspective.
