Java/Kotlin Android Chat Tutorial

Thierry Schellenbach — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 17:11:39 +0000

I actually got to work on this tutorial and library a bit myself. It was 5 years ago since I last worked on Android, so it was fun to see how the ecosystem changed. The introduction of the viewModel is particularly powerful for building reusable libraries on Android. The RecyclerView and ConstraintLayout are also nice improvements. Perhaps the biggest improvement though is the LiveData concept. That really reduces the boilerplate code you need. Have a look at the end result, a tutorial on how to build Chat with Java/Kotlin for Android.

Django Facebook 5.3

Thierry Schellenbach — Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:00:49 +0000

The 5.3 release makes it a lot easier to get started with Django Facebook.
Documentation has had a major overhaul, many small bugs have been fixed and setting validation will complain if you make mistakes during the install.
Have a look at the new docs. Especially the bit documenting how to use OpenFacebook will be interesting to many people:
Getting an OpenFacebook object
Making calls
The full docs are linked on github.

Build a scalable feed using Stream-Framework and Django

Thierry Schellenbach — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:03:44 +0000

It’s been a year since the original version of this blogpost was written and it’s time for an update. The Stream-Framework is currently the largest open source solution for building newsfeed. This post will point you in the right direction if you want to build a newsfeed using Stream-Framework and Django.
We’ll be building an example app like this Pinterest style demo.
Besides the open source Stream Framework we also offer a hosted solution for building newsfeed applications at getstream.io. The example application code for the hosted version can be found on Github.
For the open source framework the example app code can be found here.
