Twitter’s Fabric is a set of modular SDK’s, a new mobile platform that makes it really easy to add crash reporting, beta distribution, analytics, and Twitter integration into your app. It’s a relatively new addition to the Android space, introduced in October, but something that a lot of devs are talking about.
Bear Douglas is a Developer Advocate at Twitter. In this interview with ProTech's Doug Bateman, she gives us an insiders perspective into Twitter, Fabric, and the benefits it can bring to Android developers.
This is the first in a series of interviews we conducted at AnDevCon. We'll be releasing more in the coming weeks.
