25 Minute Presentation Application Development and Deployment

Speaker

Philip Withnall (Endless)

Description

Users who are on battery power, or using a mobile connection, can sometimes have a frustrating experience with apps which use lots of power, or keep downloading things. In some cases, this can lead to large bandwidth usage bills before the user realises.

The GNOME platform provides ways to change app behaviour to save power and bandwidth when appropriate. This talk will go through some examples of them. The talk is aimed at app authors.
