Today we’re releasing videos from the Tech
Talks and Fireside
Chats at I/O 2010. A look back on each track:
Tech
Talks:
From new programming languages to venture capital to 5-minute
lightning talks, the Tech Talks track at I/O was a veritable potpourri of geeky
goodness.
You can find videos and slides for the Tech Talks on the
linked session titles below:
Go
programming - The Go programming language was released as an open source
project in late 2009. Rob Pike and Russ Cox discussed how programming in Go differs from other
languages.
Opening up
Closure Library - Closure Library is the open-source JavaScript library
behind some of Google's big web apps like Gmail and Google Docs. Nathan Naze talked about the
library, its design, and how to integrate it in with your setup.
SEO
site advice from the experts - Matt Cutts, Greg Grothaus, Tiffany Lane,
and Vanessa Fox offered SEO feedback on a number of actual websites submitted by the audience.
Ignite Google
I/O - Brady Forrest and Ignite returned to I/O with an awesome line-up of
speakers - Ben Huh, Matt Harding, Clay Johnson, Bradley Vickers, Aaron Koblin, Michael Van
Riper, Anne Veling, and James Young.
Technology,
innovation, computer science, & more: A VC panel - This year was
the first time that we had investors/VCs speaking at I/O. Albert Wenger, Chris Dixon, Dave
McClure, Paul Graham, Brad Feld, and Dick Costolo (moderator) debated hot tech topics
including betting on start-ups with non-technical founders and open vs closed platforms.
The Tech Talk videos are also available in this YouTube
playlist.
Fireside
Chats:
In the 9 fireside chats at I/O this year, Google teams were
eager to talk about the latest ongoings with their respective product areas, as well as spend
most of the time on audience Q&A.
This year, we decided to
record fireside chats because we know how popular they are not just with I/O attendees, but
everyone interested in hearing from the engineers behind our products. You can find videos for
the fireside chats below:
These videos can also be found in
this Fireside Chats
YouTube playlist or the YouTube playlist for each session track. (ex. the two
Android Fireside Chats are also in the Android
playlist)
On Monday, we’ll be posting the last batch of I/O
videos from the Geo, Google APIs, and Google Wave tracks. Stay tuned!
