It is an important date: 18 November 2015. This time for real – Magento 2 launch time. During MagentoLive in Australia long awaited 2.0 version became finally available. We are happy to be a part of this community excitement in the new era of Magento world.
Magento 2 is around the corner, that’s a fact. At Snowdog we’re extremely excited to be one of the first Magento 2 Trained Solution Partners. New technologies, new features but also new challenges, that’s all we will face in next few months with Magento Commerce.
Last week was very busy for the Snowdog team. We were extra focused on all preparations to Meet Magento PL 2015 which is the biggest Polish Magento-related event. This time, we decided to organize this conference in Poznań. It was great to welcome the Magento community in the place which we call home.
Browsing newsletters, somehow in June, I came across an information about an interesting event, an economic mission state of Nevada and the related B2B meetings of representatives of state and Polish companies organized by PARP. Not quite sure what to expect after that, but certainly looked worth applying.
Google I/O 2015 announced new Android M (Milkshake?) with new permissions system and a lot of optimization. There were also presented smarter apps, better wearables, Android Pay and a bunch of other changes...
Welcome to Part 2 of Making life easier with Android Annotations. This time we'll have a look on the ways of using Fragments along with AndroidAnnotations. Anyone who used Android fragments, know how painful it is to create them with arguments that needs to be passed to each instance (to set them to our wish).
Anyone who developed Android applications, knows how easy it is to end up with boilerplate code. Accessing resources, creating services, inflating layouts, instantiating fragments, running separate threads, registering click listeners, it all requires many lines of code.
You could already read about our mobile teams representing at NeedApp Hackathon before. Today I’m going to present to you our second app – dedicated to iOS devices – Project Needs Partner that won the 3rd prize in the contest.
The Hackaton Challenge - Recently our team took part in the NeedApp Hackaton, organised by the mKlaster and Poznan Economic University. The event was a blast of great ideas, good fun, and inspiring people. Our company was represented by two teams – iOS and Android. iOS app was the finalist of the contest, winning fantastic 3rd prize. More information on this app will soon be available on our blog site.
How many times did you use your own application? I mean application that you designed and developed. Last weekend we had an opportunity to test one of our side projects – Trail Offroad (you can download from Google Play, iTunes). It’s Metrometer, inclinometer and GPX track recorder in one application dedicated to 4×4 enthusiasts. We started at 9:00 am on the parking lot in front of our office at Mostowa 11. Ready for everything :) we met captains of our expedition from Landstore.pl, AutomLand and GravityProject and 4 Land Rovers Discovery. The weather was cold but not rainy.
