Recently I was struggling to understand MotionLayout in Android and how to make it do what I wanted for my app. I had searched all over the internet reading blogs and forum posts trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I ended up watching one particularly helpful presentation video (I think it was from a DroidCon) given by this guy named Jason Pearson. It helped a lot, (watched various parts of the presentation multiple times) but eventually I still got myself stuck again. I ended up dropping a question out on StackOverflow in desperation just to see if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction. Well, fast forward a bit and someone responds to my question with a really great answer that helps me understand what I was missing. Happened to look at the user who wrote the answer and saw his name was Jason Pearson... Then I had to double-check and sure enough, it was the same guy! So, shout out to Mr. Pearson for a great presentation and a really helpful SO answer!
