  • FotoDish (Android)

    - Present

    FotoDish for Android was first created by my colleague Tong Shen using web techniques. Later I recreated the app using native Android, which was the base for all later updates.
    Some techniques we used in this project:
    - Android Studio uses gradle for building project. Gradle is very good at dependency management.
    - RxJava, like ReactiveCocoa in iOS, makes asynchronuous programming much easier.
    - RoboGuice for dependency injection.
    - Retrofit for creating RESTful API client.

    - Picasso from Square for image downloading and caching.
    - Crashlytics, Testflight and Parse. Same as iOS.
    - Analytics on Android is also written by me.

    FotoDish displays professional photographs of restaurants' most popular dishes in Boston area.
    Some techniques I used in this project:
    - CocoaPods for 3rd party dependency management.
    - ReactiveCocoa makes asynchronous programming much easier.
    - AFNetworking, a delightful networking library, is used to create FotoDish API client.
    - Crashlytics is a wonderful tool for bug report.
    - Testflight. Best beta testing solution.

  • FotoDish RESTful API

    The RESTful service was originally built with Java using Spring. Later it was rewritten with Node.js.
    - We use Restify instead of Express as server framework, because it's better for RESTful API.
    - I wrote the url router which separates different business logic into different controllers in separate files.
    - We choose MongoDB because of its flexibility in schema and it works seamlessly with Node.js. Also its Geospatial support is very important for local apps like FotoDish.

    - I am in charge of designing database schema.
    - We use markdown for documentation, which makes versioning easy. I am responsible for db schema and RESTful API documentation.
