Google I/O 2012 Videos

Here are some Android presentations from Google I/O 2012. I'm amazed at the quality of the content that Google gives away to its developers.

ROSJava and Google Cloud Robotics

The great thing about Google I/O is that they post videos about a variety of geeky subjects. The daunting thing about Google I/O is that there is soooooo much information available that some may slip through the cracks if you're not careful about it. Today, I found a video about ROS, the Robot Operating System, and some interesting information about robotics and cloud services.
Here's the video:

It still sucks not to get the freebies (except for Angry Birds), but the data presented by Google is good enough not to require them.

Breakout sessions from Google I/O - Android Open Accessories

Google I/O 2011 contained a lot of breakout sessions and fireside talks having to do with the Android OS (Including Google TV). The sessions schedule is here. I had originally intended to embed them all into one huge post, but it quickly got out of hand. It turns up that all of the videos are available at the Android Developers page in addition to the YouTube GoogleDevelopers page.

Last Call for Google I/O : A coding contest!

Earlier, I had called out Google for not necessarily caring for the little guy at Google I/O and being more concerned about giving away free stuff.

Well, I'm not concerned about that any more.
Recently, the Official Google Code Blog had this announcement:

For those of you who were quick to register, we thank you for continuing to support our developer initiatives -- this year's I/O is slated to be one of our best yet. For the rest of our developers, we weren’t kidding when we told you we love our developers.
Starting Wednesday, March 16, we will be launching Last Call for Google I/O: A contest that spans 10 days, 10 developer challenges and 100 chances to win tickets to attend the now-sold-out Google I/O 2011.
Here’s how it works. We will announce a new challenge on the contest site on select dates at either 9am or 4pm PDT, that will last for 24 hours each. There will be 10 days of challenges with 10 winners on each day, spanning the following developer products:
March 16 - Android, 9:00 am
March 17 - Chrome, 9:00 am
March 18 - App Engine, 9:00 am
March 21 - YouTube APIs, 9:00 am
March 22 - Game Developers, 9:00 am
March 23 - Google Maps / Geo, 4:00 pm
March 24 - Commerce, 9:00 am
March 25 - Developer Tools / GWT, 9:00 am
March 28 - Accessibility, 4:00 pm
March 29 - Google Apps / Enterprise, 4:00 pm
Each of the challenges will focus on one of our developer products and has two rounds. Plan to be in front of your computers for the first half-hour that the challenge starts to complete a series of questions for Round I, which will qualify you for the main coding challenge in Round II. You will have a little over 20hrs to complete Round II.
We want to make sure that we provide the opportunity to attend Google I/O to as many developers as possible and hope you’re feeling up to the task. The contest is valid in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia with winners being announced on April 4. And don’t forget that we will be livestreaming the keynotes and taping sessions during Google I/O. Stay tuned!
For more information and contest rules, visit the contest site.

Well played, Google. I am all about giving 100 winners of coding contents free tickets to Google I/O. That is AWESOME.

The contest page is here. Give it a try!

Google I/O is getting quite popular!

Could it be because of the free stuff that they give out at the conference, or because of increased interest in developing with Google products?

justinsb's posterous has an interesting suggestion: Don't give anything away this year. For someone who couldn't afford the trip, I agree. Keep the scalpers out, and keep the developers in.
His idea:

Announce that there will be nothing given away at Google I/O this year, offer free refunds to anyone that wants them, and open a waitlist. The scalpers will take their refunds, and the real developers will be able to get in.

If the only reason that you want to go is for the free stuff, go talk to Oprah.

Google: Don't be Oprah. Be better than that. Help out the people that want to LEARN.

Google I/O 2011 countdown has started!

The Google I/O 2011 Developer Conference page is now up, and it features a very fun countdown timer, made possible by a Javascript port of Box2D.

You can't register yet, but that doesn't mean that you can't have any fun!





Check out the Google I/O page or the Google I/O twitter account for more info on this excellent developer's conference.

I sincerely wish that I would be able to attend this event in person, but sadly, I can't afford the trip, even though the rates are comically cheap for this conference, especially for students and teachers. How comically cheap is it? From the registration page:

Early Bird Price (until 4/16/11) $450
List Price (starting 4/17/11) $550
Academia (student, faculty) $150
BootCamp +$100 (all registration types)
