Google I/O 2009, Developer Conference
By Azhar
Hashem, Google Developer ProgramsI'm excited to announce
Google I/O
2009, our two-day developer event that will take place May 27-28, at the Moscone Center in San
Francisco. Last year, over 3,000 developers participated in I/O and they attended 90+ sessions
across all of our developer products. This year, much of our content will feature
Android,
App Engine,
Chrome,
GWT,
AJAX APIs
and more. To give you an idea, here are a few of the sessions:
- App Engine, Offline processing on App Engine: a look
ahead
- Android, Supporting multiple devices with one
binary
- Chrome, Developing extensions for Google
Chrome
- GWT, The Story of your Compile: reading the
tea leaves of the GWT compiler for an optimized future
- AJAX
APIs, Using AJAX/RESTful APIs on Mobile Native Apps
- OpenSocial, Building a Business with Social Apps
- Geo APIs, Building scalable Geo applications
We've published a selection of the
session abstracts but check back as we'll be adding more sessions over
the next couple months.
At I/O, you'll have a chance to interact directly
with the engineering teams who work on our APIs and developer products. There will be dozens
of in-depth technical sessions that focus on how to write better applications using Google and
open technologies. For developers who are working on business applications, we've expanded our
sessions and demos on those topics as well. And we'll have plenty of opportunities for the
developer community to demo apps that use the latest web and mobile
technologies.
We're working hard to make this event insightful, useful,
and fun! Visit the
Google I/O website to learn more and
register.
Space is limited so make sure you reserve your spot early. As a bonus, you'll get a hard copy
of the
Google Chrome Comic book if you register by
May 1.
Like last year, Google I/O will be followed by Developer Days that
will take place in various countries around the world. Keep an eye out for an announcement
with details on dates and locations.
Looking forward to seeing you at
I/O!
