The hunt for Google I/O 2014 registration easter eggs
By Mónica
Bagagem, Google Developer Marketing team
During the past two weeks, 300 of our most loyal developers discovered a registration code to
Google I/O 2014, upon completion of a space adventure to [37.7829° N, 122.4033° W, Earth], aka
the Moscone Center West.
Throughout your hunt for clues, we hope you also had the opportunity to learn more about the
variety of documentation and resources available for developers, covering different products
and platforms:
- Google Developers
home: the starting point for a diverse set of Google APIs from Cloud, to
Games, to Google Wallet. This comprehensive site includes blogs, API documentation, developer
tools, and information about Google developer programs, groups, training, and open-source
projects.
- Android
and Google Developers
YouTube Channels: central resource for developers around the world, of all
experience levels, interested in learning more about the Google Developer ecosystem. It
includes tutorial videos, high level overviews, and the latest news.
- Udacity
videos: Google Developers has teamed up with Udacity to provide
accessible, engaging, and highly effective online education, including cutting-edge classes
about Mobile Web Development and HTML5 Game Development.
The lucky Captains who found the leads first, were guided by a robot co-pilot called
Icarus
Odessa (I.O. initials, get it?!) on a
spaced-themed text adventure game, filled with starships, asteroids, and a few sci-fi
references. We were seriously impressed by the
clever
strategies you used to discover our clues, and thrilled to see the
community
interact throughout the quest. If you’re curious to meet Icarus, have some fun
playing the adventure game
here.
Our goal was to reward you - our developer power users - with the opportunity to
experience the magic of I/O first hand. We know that not everyone will be able to attend in
person, but you can still join us virtually: visit
google.com/io to watch the live
stream, download the mobile app, and learn more about Extended I/O events happening near you.
We hope to see you in June!
