Devoxx 2011 Recordings: Now Free on Parleys.com

All of the recordings of the technical sessions I gave with Romain Guy at Devoxx 2011 are now free on the Parleys.com site. This means that you'll have a chance to watch them all before we go to Antwerp next month and present several more sessions. Which means we'll need another five hours of new material. Dangit.

In the meantime:

Android Awesomeness (Part 1 and Part 2)

This vaguely-titled talk was in two parts. In the first half, Romain and I did a very quick introduction to the Android 4.0 release. The second half was more interactive, as we showed how we use the tools that ship with the SDK to debug performance, memory, and UI issues.

You can also download the slides for this talk here: Part 1 and Part 2.

Graphics Goodies

This session was an updated version of the Android Accelerated Rendering talk we did at Google I/O 2011.

Here are the slides.

Sticky GUIs

This presentation was a collection of techniques and principles for creating GUI applications that will make your users stick around: graphics, performance, animations, GUIs; they're all important.

Here are the slides.

There are many other good (and free!) technical talks from Devoxx 2011, including other Android talks on tools and application development and plenty of other geeky topics as well. Check them out on the Parleys Devoxx '11 site. (Did I mention they're free?)

And hopefully see some of you in Antwerp in a month. After we've written a ton of new material.

Women and children overboard

It's the Catch-22 of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations," like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans." Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that

Not a word was spoken (but many were learned)

Video is often used in the EFL classroom for listening comprehension activities, facilitating discussions and, of course, language work. But how can you exploit silent films without any language in them? Since developing learners' linguistic resources should be our primary goal (well, at least the blogger behind the blog thinks so), here are four suggestions on how language (grammar and vocabulary) can be generated from silent clips. Split-viewing Split-viewing is an information gap activity where the class is split into groups with one group facing the screen and the other with their back to the screen. The ones facing the screen than report on what they have seen - this can be done WHILE as well as AFTER they watch. Alternatively, students who are not watching (the ones sitting with their backs to the screen) can be send out of the classroom and come up with a list of the questions to ask the 'watching group'. This works particularly well with action or crime scenes with
