The article describes the program's goals, weekly sessions on public speaking and conference applications, mentoring, and an I Am Remarkable workshop. ### Source excerpt My October was busy. I spoke at three conferences (droidcon Italy, droidcon London, and KKON, which was an online conference). I had also applied to the Women Developer Academy Europe earlier, and when the acceptance letter arrived at the end of September, I wasn't sure if I could participate. But as you might guess from me writing this blog post, I decided to attend, and it was a great decision! In this blog post, I'll share my experiences with the program. Women Developer Academy (WDA) Women Developer Academy is a program from Google, and the event page for our cohort (Women Developer Academy Europe) explains it in a nutshell: The Women Developer Academy is a specialized program for female developers, aimed at increasing the diversity of speakers at tech events in the region, focusing on creating an inclusive community of speakers and mentors who can support each other. The program consisted of weekly sessions, the I Am Remarkable workshop, mentoring, and a mini-conference with 5-minute talks. I'll share a bit more about them next. Sessions The program had 2-3 evening sessions each week. The topics for the meetings were about public speaking, applying to conferences, online branding, and many other related topics. Many of those topics were familiar, as I've spoken at many conferences, but I also learned new things. For me, living in the eastern side of Europe in Finland, these meetings started at seven in the evening. It's not an optimal time for someone who is definitely a morning person, and needs their wind-down time in the evening. But I was so happy that we got the sessions as recordings and could watch them later! I Am Remarkable-workshop The WDA program included a I Am Remarkable workshop. The website describes the movement behind this workshop: #IAmRemarkable is a global movement that empowers everyone to celebrate their achievements in the workplace and beyond. I've heard of this workshop but never got to attend one. I can see the need for such workshops ## Droidcon Berlin 22 DevFeed: [Droidcon Berlin 22]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2022-07-06T17:38:47Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [maiatoday]() Topics: [Compose](), [Jetpack Compose](), [Android](), [Open Source](), [App]() Tags: [android](), [code](), [compose](), [droidcon](), [jetpack-compose](), [open-source](), [panel](), [public-speaking](), [scale](), [talk](), [video]() ### AI overview A personal recap of Droidcon Berlin 2022, where the author presented a talk on Compose, participated in a panel discussion about Android at Scale, and discussed Android and public speaking. ### Source excerpt Droidcon Berlin 22 what a blast!

It proposes making persistent storage the source of data changes while the UI reactively represents persisted data, creating a unidirectional data flow. The approach is presented as architecture-agnostic and as supporting state restoration, offline use, and immediate feedback. ### Source excerpt Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. In the world of Android, where all sources of information and user interactions are asynchronous, UI state can become hard to reason about, especially in large apps. This is not only difficult to maintain but also increases complexity with the addition of every new feature.
