#What you can expect from the Bangalore edition of Fragments on 30 March:
Fragments was launched in response to the fragmented nature of engineering and software development for mobile. Much changed for mobile engineering in 2017 when React Native entered the landscape and cross-platform mobile development took off in a big way.
At the recently concluded ReactFoo, we talked not only about the ecosystem emerging with ReactFoo, but also how organizations are structuring teams for Android, iOS and cross-platform mobile development.
Coming back to Fragments, the Android versus iOS debate seems to be settled with Android winning the turf. Now, with Flutter taking off as a platform for mobile engineering, the battleground has opened between React Native versus Flutter. Who will win is not only a matter of adoption and user base metrics, but also which platform has a stronger community around it.
On 30 March, speakers Priyanka Sabhagani and Ajin Asokan will share BookMyShow’s and Zerodha’s experiences (respectively) with React Native and Flutter, helping participants evaluate each platform’s strength and weaknesses.
We look forward to deeper discussions around Flutter, where the platform has piqued a great deal of interest from developers (who have to write less code), but greater skepticism about Flutter’s capabilities with respect to data storage and related issues from senior developers.
Apart from Flutter, the Bangalore edition of Fragments will feature talks on Kotlin and native app development. An interesting question to discuss here is the decision to go native versus when not to go native with your app. Which factors inform such a decision?
The other discussion which Raghunath Jawahar, Varsha Saha and Abhinav Rastogi will take up is what native app developers can learn from the mature web front-end architectures. The discussion will steer around the following topics:
Finally, Fragments Bangalore will showcase talks on:

Zerodha is India’s biggest retail stock broker, known more as a fintech company than a broking company. Our flagship web and mobile trading apps, Kite, generate 3+ million orders a day, the largest in the industry, contributing to over 10% of all retail volumes across Indian stock exchanges.
Kite 3.0 mobile, the third major iteration of the app, is written from scratch in Flutter. The first two generations were native and React Native respectively. Just two developers learnt, became productive in Flutter, and took the app to market in a handful of months. In this talk, I will share our experience using Flutter, the challenges we faced, and in the end, the amazing productivity boost, app performance, and the additional UI/UX benefits we achieved.
Ajin Asokan is a fullstack developer with 10+ years of experience. He dabbles with with .Net, Go, Python, embedded systems, mobile app development, and hardware audio engineering, and is a hobbyist hacker, tinkerer, inventor, and audiophile.
Some recent mobile apps Ajin has worked on:
