No app is an island. You need to communicate with your users, and with your app. And you want to do it fast, and in a way that doesn’t burn battery life or bandwidth. You also want to communicate with the right devices, and let those devices communicate with you. In this talk, we’ll go over building smart messaging systems that achieve all this, and more, using Google Cloud Messaging. It lets your apps talk to your users, and vice-versa, as well as also allowing you to send messages directly to their apps, in the most efficient way possible.

Laurence is the best-selling author of several books, including the popular ‘Legend of the Locust’ science fiction series, and dozens more on computer programming. He’s the host of the ‘Coffee with a Googler’ show on YouTube, and can be reached at @lmoroney or +LaurenceMoroney.
