Episode 27 A Couple of Tools

This time, Tor and Chet are joined by... nobody. Instead, we just talk among ourselves about tools. From Android Studio to performance debugging tools to IDE shortcuts to memory analysis tools to Lint rules to animation debugging tools and back to Android Studio, we talk about lots of tools and then some.

Favorite quotes:
"How do you learn IntelliJ power commands?"
"You just have to read the source code."

"We have a Lint rule for that."
(This should be Tors superhero catch phrase if its not already)


IDE shortcuts: Killing the joy of programming one keystroke at a time.

Yesterday, much to the disappointment of the existing Lumia owners, it was announced that they wont be getting the Windows Phone 8 update but instead the stripped down Windows Phone 7.8 update, that brings the new homescreen from Windows Phone 8, among other minor features.



However, Nokia promised to continue support for the Lumia devices and regular updates that add some unique features to the Lumia phones.

Now Nokia has announced that the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 will be getting another softwareupdate on June 27. This update will bring features such as internet sharing, flip-to-silence and media streaming.

All of this in addition to some other great features that Nokia announced for the Lumia range, such as the camera enhancements, contact sharing, data counter, DLNA and exclusive Zynga games such as Words With Friends and Draw Something.

If you are a current Nokia Lumia user, do let us know what you feel about these updates.
