Arduino is an open source hardware and software prototyping platform that enables you to quickly and easily take ideas and transform them into interactive objects that react to their environment in real time.
In this introduction to the Arduino platform we'll cover creating basic circuits using a breadboard, making LEDs blink and sensing temperature and light and if time permits a few other things. You learn how to use and program the Arduino IDE. Be amazed at how easy it it to integrate hardware and software! Start down the path on creating your own hardware or Internet of things device.
You'll need to bring a laptop yourself. An Arduino kit will be required, you can borrow one on the day and/or pay ($50) to take it home with you. No soldering or electronics experience is needed but programming skills are required. Please download and install the Arduino software (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) before showing up on the day.

Giuseppe Porcelli CEO, Lakeba
There is a recent move in the mobile world towards testing and clean architecture and every time we hear someone give a talk about it or read a blog post, Dependency Injection (DI) and Dagger are mentioned along the line. DI is no new pattern, but it is rather new to the mobile world.
Dagger 1 has been around since 2012 and before that we had tools like Guice or Spring. Still with every new framework there come new things to master!
So what does Dagger 2 give us?
