This talk would help developers learn how to create an Uber like app within hours and zero lines of backend code leveraging the capabilities Firebase - a realtime database in the cloud as a data provider and Google Maps, Places and Directions APIs as a case study for the sample app.

Outline

The Firebase Backend - where the data is brewed.

• What is firebase?
• How to setup a firebase project?
• An overview of the Firebase Android SDK.
• In depth discussion about the new capabilities of Firebase as a Case Study sample of an Uber like app
  • Analytics - Get more insights from your app.
  • Remote Configurations - A/B Testing, bring it on.
  • Notifications - A one stop solution for GCM to all your clients.
  • Crash Reporting - Wouldn’t it be cool to see your app analytics data and crashes in the same dashboard, time to ditch Fabric ;)
  • Dynamic Deeplinks - Yes, its yelling growth now!

In the end I’d like to see everyone filled with joy knowing the fact how easy it is to pull out a project like uber with such ease.
