episode 39: 039: Talking TextView with Elliott Chenger
In this episode we chat with our friend an all round amazing AndroidDev Elliott Chenger. Elliot does Android development for Under Armour and knows a thing or two about TextViews. We talk TextViews, font rendering complications in Android, performance optimizations, localization (vs internationalization), ECDC (it's a thing!) and wind the discussion off with some design software tools out there.
