Introduction to ART (Android Runtime)
The document introduces ART, the new Android runtime that replaced Dalvik. ART compiles apps ahead of time during installation rather than using just-in-time compilation like Dalvik. This ahead-of-time compilation makes apps launch faster and improves battery life compared to Dalvik. However, ART requires more storage space and has less documentation since it is still under development and not yet the default Android runtime. The document encourages attendees to ask questions and notes that the company Shazam is hiring.
