Preface

Firebase is a very popular Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) tool launched in April 2012. Because of its state-of-the-art capabilities and technology such as its real-time database, it caught the interest of Google and was acquired by Google in 2014. I started to explore Firebase technologies before Google's acquisition. Now, Firebase has transformed into a powerful tool, containing support for most of the use cases of real-world software development. Firebase pides the toolchain into three distinct categories: build your application, improve the application's quality, and grow your business.

The book introduces all the tools with quick code snippets, and also, in a couple of chapters you get to run programs as quick simple projects. The book will give you complete comprehension of what Firebase has to offer for Android developers by tailoring features and code snippet examples in every chapter.

Since Firebase, it has become easy to build a great mobile application, be it iOS or Android. Firebase has a lot of things to offer, from analytics to user acquisition and A/B testing, and the list goes on. This book will cover the most up-to-date information on Firebase, including the latest tools that were introduced in Google IO 2018.
