Hello everyone

We are happy to announce our 1st Android Devs meetup here in Athens. Meetup will take place on the 21st of September at 19:00 at Hub Events.

In this meetup we will host two presentations. The first presentation by Vasilis and Pavlos-Petros from Workable will introduce us to efficient error handling on Android, while in the second presentation Spyros from ezhome will discuss about Firebase and how they built an effective library on top of it with RxJava.

Important: Please RSVP to this meetup only if you will attend, in order to have a rough estimation of the number of people that eventually will come and therefore be able to properly prepare and arrange the meetup place.

Special thanks to Found.ation (http://thefoundation.gr/) for offering to host the event, to e-food.gr (https://www.e-food.gr/) for the pizzas and Pollfish (https://www.pollfish.com/) for the beers!
