The Secret to Mobile is API Design, App Architecture, and Data Handling
Andy Lech
Cross-platform mobile developer (Xamarin.Forms), Consultant at Tews Company, ONETUG President

Let's face it: API design, app architecture and data handling do not make customers flock to your mobile app on their own. But they are essential to every non-trivial app out there and the difference maker for creating efficient, robust apps that are easier to maintain and extend. In this session, we'll cover the benefits of: * Designing your API to deliver data just-in-time due to the constraints of mobile and knowing when and how to break that rule * Returning an extensible error object with detailed information instead of re-throwing exceptions, returning error codes without context, or redeploying your app * Compartmentalizing all REST calls into testable API clients * Pre-processing data and caching in your app core along with network fault-tolerance * Centralizing calls to logging, reporting, and analytics services * Moving all data decisions as far into your app back-end as possible

Get started with Geospatial Creator for Unity (CodeLab)
Kendra Kennedy
AR/VR Software Engineer at DesignInteractive.NET

Geospatial Creator, powered by ARCore and Google Maps Platform, lets you create augmented-reality (AR) experiences in the Unity editor. It uses Google's Photorealistic 3D Tiles API to preview what the experience looks like in the real world without the need to physically visit that location.

In this codelab, you get started with the Geospatial Creator. You get the quickstart Unity project set up and learn how to operate the editor. After that, you import an asset into the scene and position it into the digital twin of the world. You add an animation to the asset to bring it to life. Finally, you view the content on your device in AR.
