Yesterday, I attended this free, yes free, Google developer day held in Wembley Stadium, London.
Talks attended:
- A deeper look as Google App Engine, Mano Marks
- Gears, Aaron Boodman
- Mashing up Google data APIs, Ryan Body
- V8 – the chrome engine, Kevin Millikin
Talks I wish I’d attended:
- State of AJAX, Dion Almaer
- Lightening talks
Codelabs I wish I had attended:
- Gears, Aaron Boodman
- Maps, Russell Middleton
Overall vibe was good. Plus nice freebies.
I did wish there was a session on Google applications and their features, and highlighting where these can be harnessed via data APIs.
I’ll post my notes from each session attended soon.
What were the freebies then?
I got a feed, obligatory tee shirt and a big headed lego man shaped 1gb USB stick. There was something of a shindig afterwards and I had a free glass of wine on Google ;)
