Geo at Google I/O 2010
Monday, June 7, 2010
Thanks from the Geo API team for a making Google I/O a great event yet again! We really look at I/O as being for developers by developers, so each year our API engineering team makes the pilgrimage from Sydney, Australia to personally present the new APIs and features they’ve spent most of their time working on. These features and new APIs are, in most cases, requested by the Maps API community so it’s a real thrill for us to deliver on these requests in person.
For those that were unable to make it, we’ve got you covered! The following is a summary of the key Geo API announcements that were made, along with a link to each session page that (as of today) now includes full videos and presentation materials. To bookmark all Geo sessions, use
this YouTube playlist
. Refill the coffee and get comfy!

Google Wave at I/O: Learn new APIs & Build your own Wave
Monday, June 7, 2010
Google Wave was first unveiled at Google I/O in 2009, alongside our first draft of Wave APIs and specifications for the open-source world. We worked hard this past year to bring you a
host of new features
on our first birthday at Google I/O 2010:
open sign-ups
, attachments and data APIs and open-sourcing of a significant Wave component, the rich text editor.
From seeing demos in the Wave pod in the Developer Sandbox to having conversations with attendees in person, we were excited to see all of the ways people are using Wave and the Google Wave Federation Protocol inside enterprises. It was extremely valuable for us to hear your questions and feedback in person and via the session waves.
For developers out there who weren't able to attend I/O in-person, we hope you can join in virtually by watching the recorded videos of the various talks.

Google APIs at I/O 2010
Monday, June 7, 2010
Which three letters could you hear proudly proclaimed again and again throughout the sessions of Google I/O 2010? ...that’s right, A-P-I! Google APIs form the foundation of many of our developer products, and across the board, APIs made a significant impact at Google I/O.
This year, I/O saw the launch of a number of new APIs -- including the read-write
Google Buzz API
, the
Google Font API
, version two of the
Google Feed API (with push!)
, the
Google BigQuery API
, the
Google Latitude API
, the
Google Moderator API
, and the
Google Prediction API
. Additionally, many of the sessions this year focused on how to better use existing Google APIs like the
Google Analytics APIs
and the
YouTube APIs
. And of course, we discussed many great topics during Office Hours and Fireside Chats, and after each session -- a big thank you to everyone who attended!
If you missed any of this excitement, today we’re pleased to announce that the following videos for the official
Google API
track are now available:
Bringing Google to your site
- Google’s DeWitt Clinton and Jeff Scudder discuss a number of ways to integrate Google products with a site, including the Google Custom Search Engine, the Feed API with push, the Google Checkout Element, AdSense, Buzz Buttons, and more. DeWitt and Jeff also show how to “make the web beautiful” by announcing the new Google Font API.
Knowledge is (less) power: Exploring the Google PowerMeter API
- Google’s Srikanth Rajagopalan and Rus Heywood discuss the concept behind, design of, and how to use the Google PowerMeter API.
Google Chart Tools: Google's new unified approach for creating dynamic charts on the web
- Google’s Michael Fink and Amit Weinstein announce several new charts and features and expose the new look of the Google Chart Tools gallery. They also present the relative advantages of the Interactive Chart API (based on JavaScript) vs. the Image Charts API (based on server-side rendering), and show how they can work together to augment the users’ experience.
Google Analytics APIs: End to end
- Google's Nick Mikhaelovski delivers an unprecedented sneak peak at how Google Analytics processes and calculates the data in reports. He also discusses the vision for Google Analytics integration tools and takes a look at how to integrate web analytics data with business data using the Google Analytics Platform.
Building real-time web apps with App Engine and the Feed API
- Google’s Brett Bavar and Moishe Lettvin introduce two new tools to power the real-time web: the App Engine Channel API and the Feed API v2 with push updates. In a technical deep dive, they discuss how the Channel API pushes data from App Engine to a browser and how the new version of the Feed API subscribes to PubSubHubbub feeds and receive updates pushed to the browser.
YouTube API uploads: Tools, tips, and best practices
- Google’s Jeffrey Posnick, Gareth McSorley, and Kuan Yong start off by discussing Android and iPhone upload best practices and how to resume interrupted uploads. They conclude by demonstrating the YouTube Direct embeddable iframe for soliciting uploads on existing web pages.
How Google builds APIs
- Google’s Zach Maier and Mark Stahl discuss the foundations of Google’s API infrastructure, as well as a collection of different issues that shaped how APIs exist today. In addition, Google’s Yaniv Inbar demonstrates the new Java client library for Google APIs on Android, and Google’s Joey Schorr offers a sneak peak at Google’s internal API-building tool.
Analyzing and monetizing your Android & iPhone apps
- Google’s Chrix Finne and Jim Kelm discuss how to build, launch, grow, monetize, and manage your Android app using AdSense for Mobile Apps. In a quick demo, Jim shows how to quicky implement Analytics in a mobile application.
We hope that you enjoy watching (or re-watching) these sessions as much as we enjoyed preparing and presenting them. Videos and slides for all of the individual presentations can be found on the pages linked above, but if you’d prefer to embark on an API-watching marathon, you should check out our
YouTube playlist
and watch away.
As always, it’s exciting to see the great and powerful products that you’re building with Google’s suite of APIs. We look forward to coding and innovating with you over the next year, and can’t wait to see you at I/O 2011!

Google Hackfest and Reception at RailsConf
Friday, June 4, 2010
Many of the developer and enterprise products presented at
Google I/O
are of great interest to the Rails Community. We know developers attending
RailsConf
are ready to roll up their sleeves to start hacking, so Google is hosting a hackfest and reception at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel in Maryland DF (5th Floor). The event will be on June 9th from 7:00pm to 11:30pm, and of course we'll have food, beer and swag. Space is limited, so please
register now
, we'll send out an email when your registration has been confirmed.
Steven Bazyl
will be helping folks integrate their existing Rails apps into Google Apps Marketplace using OpenID, OAuth, and the Google Data APIs. The
Google Apps Marketplace
offers products and services designed for Google users, including installable apps that integrate with Google Apps.
Ryan Brown
and
John Woodell
will be getting folks setup with
Duby
or
JRuby
on App Engine, and
David Masover
will be helping folks with the DataMapper adapter.
Google App Engine
enables developers to build and host web apps on the same systems that power Google applications. JVM languages like Duby and JRuby operate on App Engine for Java.
Seth Ladd
will be available to talk about the Chrome Web Store. The
Chrome Web Store
a very easy way to distribute and monetize apps written in HTML, HTML5, or even Flash. The Chrome Web Store is a perfect way to market and distribute your Rails application, run that app on any platform or device (mobile or desktop), sign up users, and make money.
Seth will also be running two surveys at the conference, and would love your feedback on HTML5 and the Chrome Web Store. These in-person surveys are to help him gauge developer interest and knowledge in these technologies. To entice participants, he will have lots of t-shirts on hand to give away to attendees at the conference who participates in the survey. Look for him while at the conference, let him know your thoughts, and collect your t-shirt (while supplies last).
RailsConf attendees that sign up for the hackfest by June 8th, can request a Google Storage account to use at the hackfest.
Google Storage for Developers
a RESTful service for storing and accessing your data on Google's infrastructure. The service combines the performance and scalability of Google's cloud with advanced security and sharing capabilities.
We're looking forward to the great talks and to meeting lots of developers. Can't wait to do some coding with you at RailsConf 2010!

Google Chrome at Google I/O 2010
Thursday, June 3, 2010
We kicked off Day 1 of Google I/O this year by highlighting the progress of the web platform.
The
Day 1 keynote
included a number of exciting announcements and demos from the Chrome Team. To demonstrate the power of building with HTML5, Sundar Pichai invited on stage a number of Chrome partners, including
Clicker
who demonstrated the power of video and highlighted one of the big open questions for the web: the need for a freely available, high quality video codec for the tag. With the support of Mozilla, Opera, and Adobe, we announced the launch of the
WebM Project
, which makes a high quality video codec freely available to everyone.
We also announced the upcoming
Chrome Web Store
, which will launch later this year to help make great web applications more discoverable. We showed how rich web apps and content like Sports Illustrated will be discovered, launched, and even purchased from the Web Store when it launches later this year.
In addition to our keynote announcements, the Chrome Team also led a number of sessions throughout both days of the conference, focusing on Chrome, HTML5, and the web as a platform.
Here’s a recap of what was covered in our sessions:

The Social Web at Google I/O 2010
Thursday, June 3, 2010
Google I/O attendees and speakers this year had the opportunity to participate in some fascinating and important conversations around the social web. The
Developer Sandbox
featured 16 companies on hand to talk about their social efforts, including Atlassian, eBay, IBM, LinkedIn, MySpace, Ning, Plaxo, Playfish, Yahoo!, and Voxeo.
In addition, nine sessions on social topics took place during the 2-day conference -- dealing with everything from real-time streams to OpenSocial in the enterprise. Of particular emphasis were open standards such as
ActivityStreams
,
PubSubHubbub
,
OAuth
,
Salmon
, and
Webfinger
that are fast becoming the foundational technologies for a more open and social web. The Google Buzz API was announced and covered in detail. And, of course, a deep look was taken at the future of the social web.
This is a big year for the social web, and we hope that the videos and slides from each session will expand your knowledge of and engagement with these exciting ideas and technologies:
Fireside chat with the Social Web team
- Rockstars of the Social Web team at Google gather to talk with attendees about a truly open and social web.
What's the hubbub about Google Buzz APIs?
- Chris Chabot introduces the Google Buzz API and provides a deep dive on the open standards it uses such as ActivityStreams, PubSubHubbub, OAuth, Salmon, and WebFinger, and demonstrates how to build your own apps on top of the API.
Surf the stream: Google Buzz, location, and social gaming
- Bob Aman and Timothy Jordan continue the Google Buzz API party with Buzz Bingo, a social game built on App Engine and Google Buzz.
iGoogle developer portal and tools
- The iGoogle Gadget Dashboard and the OpenSocial Development Environment are introduced by Shih-chia Cheng and Albert Cheng to help you build and maintain better OpenSocial gadgets for iGoogle.
Make your application real-time with PubSubHubbub

The open & social web
- Chris Messina uses a cartoon narrative to tell the epic story of Jack and Kate, explaining how immigration, staying in touch, and sharing rich media relate to emerging technologies like OpenID, WebFinger, and publishing technologies like PubSubHubbub, ActivityStreams, and Salmon.
Bridging the islands: Building fluid social experiences across websites
- Once you’ve seen Chris Messina’s talk on the open & social web, you’re bound to ask how you connect your site to the rest of the Social Web to increase traffic, engagement, and relevance. John Panzer and Joseph Smarr give you the answer: by adopting the awesome open technologies described in this talk!
Where is the social web going next?
- Kara Swisher moderates a panel of leading experts from LinkedIn, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, and MySpace debating issues like privacy and providing their best guesses at the direction of the foundational technologies of the social web.
Best practices for implementing OpenSocial in the Enterprise
- Experts in the deployment of OpenSocial in the enterprise gather to talk implementation and best practices as well as review existing challenges.

Android at Google I/O 2010
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
The Android intensity at Google I/O 2010 was definitely palpable. The Android presence included all of Day 2’s keynote along with a full session track, office hours, an Android device display of over 50 phones, and (many people’s favorite) the
Developer Sandbox
.
Vic Gundotra kicked off the Day 2 keynote with over 20 demos of the new features from Android release 2.2, internally called “Froyo” (see
this summary
on the Android Developers’ Blog). The second half of the keynote was devoted to
Google TV
. For more details on that announcement, you can read
The Google TV Story
.
During the conference, there were ten in-depth sessions dedicated to Android, two fireside chats (including one with OEMs), and one session that combined discussion of Android and iPhone issues. The sessions were:
A beginner’s guide to Android
by Reto Meier - This one featured an amazingly packed, wall-to-wall, no-standing-room-left crowd, and once it became apparent that the crowd was already quite Android-savvy, the session turned into a Best and Worst Practices talk.
Writing real-time games for Android, redux
by Chris Pruett - A crash course in Android game development: everything you need to know to get started writing 2D and 3D games, as well as tips, tricks, and benchmarks to help your code reach optimal performance. The crowd in this session’s room showed that games are one of the hottest Android application areas.
The world of ListView
by Romain Guy and Adam Powell - It might seem a bit odd to dedicate an entire session to one UI widget, but Android’s ListView is large, reasonably complex, and very widely used. Romain and Adam had to work hard to fit their material into just one talk.
Casting a wide net: how to target all Android devices
by Justin Mattson - This session covered an increasingly important subject now that there are over 60 Android devices, with significant variations in their size, shape, and capabilities.
Developing Android REST client applications
by Virgil Dobjanschi - Virgil discussed the meat and potatoes of fitting Android clients into an increasingly-RESTful Web ecosystem. No user-interface flash here, but totally essential back-end plumbing guidance.
A JIT Compiler for Android's Dalvik VM
by Ben Cheng and Bill Buzbee - JIT stands for “Just In Time”, and it’s a technique for making compute-heavy Android programs run faster; maybe as much as four times faster. Definitely behind-the-scenes stuff, but a subject nearly everyone cares about.
Writing zippy Android apps
by Brad Fitzpatrick - Making your code run fast requires combining good design with a large grab-bag of hard-won best practices. For any serious Android developer: this is a must-see session, so I hope you make use of the session video and slides!
Advanced Android audio techniques
by Dave Sparks - Integrating audio into your apps involves a lot of choices and trade-offs at a bunch of levels. Furthermore, there are new media framework APIs in Android 2.2. Lots of good, detailed drill-down in this session.
Building push applications for Android
by Debajit Ghosh - What was called “push” while it was being built is now called Cloud To Device Messaging (C2DM), and it’s very nicely integrated into the SDK; we anticipate that a lot of developers will want to use this.
Android UI design patterns
by Chris Nesladek et al. - The Android User Experience team shared their insights on how to design great Android apps.
There were also two Fireside chats. One with a panel of Android handset manufacturers, and another with a stage full of leading engineers from the Android team. The panelists took questions from the people in the room and from over the Web via Google Moderator and Google Wave.
On Thursday afternoon, a gaggle of Android engineers held office hours; the area was absolutely jam-packed with developers full of questions about everything from low-level hardware interfaces to telephony chips up through the finer points of Live Wallpapers. Everyone had fun and went home tired.
On both days of the conference, there was a large (bright green, of course) display case full of Android devices, surrounded by the app developers and handset manufacturers participating in the Developer Sandbox. This area was crowded from the start of I/O until the security folks eventually chased out the stragglers after closing.
Here
is quick video of a slow walk past the big display case.
Videos and slides for each session are linked from the titles above, and you can find all the Android session videos from Google I/O 2010 in this
YouTube playlist
.
The Android team had an amazing time meeting the developer community at this year’s I/O, and we hope you’ll stay up-to-date on Android news by following us on the
Android Developers Blog

Developers go big for business at Google I/O 2010
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
There was a big focus on developing software for businesses at Google I/O this year, centered around three themes: build and sell apps in the
Marketplace
, customize and extend Google's apps, and build your own apps for internal use. The news kicked off the day before Google I/O with the announcement of
Gmail contextual gadgets
and many
enhancements for Google Apps Script
, including JDBC support. Then during the keynote, we launched
Google App Engine for Business
and announced our
collaboration with VMware
, and continued with the announcement of
Google Wave (Labs) availability in Google Apps
and Exchange support in
Android 2.2
(aka Froyo).
Altogether there were more than a
dozen technical sessions
focused on the enterprise and more than 20 Google Apps Marketplace vendors demoing in the Enterprise Developer Sandbox.
Here’s a recap of a few of the sessions below. You can find the videos and slides for these sessions on the linked session title:
Scripting Google Apps for business process automation
-
Google’s Evin Levey showed off the latest developments from
Google Apps Script
, and explained how developers can use the tool to automate business processes.
Reach new customers fast: Learn how to sell your cloud app on the Google Apps Marketplace
-
Google’s Scott McMullan was joined by Jay Simmons (
Atlassian
), Chuck Dietrich (
SlideRocket
) and Amit Kulkarni (
Manymoon
) to discuss best practices for launching an app in the
Google Apps Marketplace
. This session was followed by a
technical overview
of how developers integrate apps with the Marketplace.
Building context-aware extensions for Gmail - Deep dive on Gmail contextual gadgets
- Google recently launched
Gmail contextual gadgets
, allowing developers to intelligently surface their apps directly in the Gmail message UI based on the content of the message. In this session, Dan Holevoet of Google explained how to create and distribute these gadgets.
Run corporate applications on Google App Engine? Yes we do
.
Google CIO Ben Fried and his team discussed how Google runs real-world business applications on App Engine, and gave practical advice on how enterprise IT developers can make App Engine work with firewalls, legacy systems and proprietary systems. We unveiled this video yesterday along with the rest of the
App Engine videos
, but are reiterating it here as this session is quite relevant to the enterprise.
Making Freemium work - converting free users to paying customers
-
In this panel moderated by Google’s Don Dodge, venture capitalists Brad Feld, Dave McClure, Jeff Clavier, Matt Holleran and Joe Kraus discussed strategies for building free products that can be upgraded to paid versions.
You can also find all videos for Enterprise I/O 2010 sessions in this
YouTube playlist
.
We’re excited to see the great strides our enterprise developer community has made, and we're looking forward to seeing even more innovation and progress at next year’s I/O. We hope to see you then!
