Opaque blobs of data have hexed Android programmers for too long. It’s time to byte the bullet and learn how data is transmitted and persisted.
In this talk we’ll:
💾 Learn a bit about base64, little-endian, and EOF.
💾 See how inefficient encodings nibble away resources.
💾 Hash out the differences between ASCII, UTF-8, and other charsets.
💾 Zip through examples of compression, crypto, and protocol buffers.
💾 Load up on APIs and discover what Square’s Okio has in store.
This talk offers a short introduction to an array of topics. You’ll learn enough to be encode & decode whatever data you select!
