seo Countdown to Google I/O: Vincent Nguyen, the pundit 2013
Seo Master present to you:
By Vincent Nguyen, with Katie Miller, Google I/O Team
Google I/O 2012 is fast approaching, and to help energize you for three packed days of demos, announcements and developer fun, we chatted with a few attendees to see what excites them about this year’s agenda, and to get some tips on how to make the most of the event.
Today’s conversation is with Vincent Nguyen. Vincent is co-founder of Android Community and SlashGear, where he writes about mobile technology and consumer electronics. We asked Vincent for a look at what he expects during his I/O 2012 experience.
You’ve been to Google I/O before. How are you approaching this year’s event?
I've been attending Google I/O since the very first year back in 2008, and watched as the event has matured into a showcase for everything that we love about Google. Far-fetched ideas that somehow find their way into phones; ambitious plans to help users engage with data in new and intriguing ways; and a combination of enterprise and geeky glee that permeates all the way through, whether you're talking to a Google exec or a developer attendee.
We'll be covering I/O wearing two different hats, which is fitting considering Android has broken through into the mainstream as well as remaining a developer's playground. For SlashGear, we'll take a more consumer-centric approach: looking at the technologies and developments that will make a day-to-day difference in users' lives. It's really easy to put together a slick demo and presentation, but we'll be trying to make sure the SlashGear audience sees the context too, where they'll actually benefit once that technology reaches the market.
On the flipside there's the Android Community readership, which tends to be more advanced in its understanding of hardware, code and apps, as well as eager and willing to dig into the minutiae of what makes Google I/O special. There, we'll spend less time on context - though that's still important - and more on specifics, keeping readers up to speed on the cutting edge.
Android has become a huge part of I/O. What do you foresee happening with Android at this year’s conference?
Android's rise has been meteoric, and apps have grown in number and scope alongside it. Many Google I/O sessions will center on app accessibility, security and privacy, all hot-button topics in the months since last year's event. One of the great strengths of the platform is the freedom developers have to distribute their software, but with that comes no small amount of responsibility, and I'm expecting to hear more best-practice guidelines as Google shifts into broader areas.
That's where arguably the real meat of Google I/O comes about: the opportunity for developers to talk to Google's own engineers. As press attendees rather than as developers, the team and I are always mindful of the huge number of interested people who haven't been able to make it to I/O itself. We're their eyes and ears in the keynote, the backstage interviews, when talking with Sandbox partners and everywhere else. It's a big responsibility but I love the challenge of spotting the most important trends and stories and packaging them up in a way that makes sense to those not lucky enough to be on-site.
Is there anything you’re hoping to learn about that isn’t a major part of the current schedule?
Google has some challenges ahead, and like many I'll be very interested to see the latest developments in Google TV. I'm hoping the multi-screen strategy we've seen developing from other companies in home entertainment and gaming will find a counterpart in Google's platform, pulling the disparate elements of the cloud, smart mobility and entertainment together.
It's the surprise additions - the keynote items we never expect - that I'm most excited about, though. I'd be shocked if Google didn't bring the latest iteration of Project Glass on-stage, and disappointed if I don't get to try it myself sometime during I/O. I expect some talk about what Google has learned in wearable computing. After long speculation about Google Assistant, and with Samsung's S-Voice making its debut on the Galaxy S III recently, I'm also guessing that voice control will make itself heard too.
As a veteran of 4 previous Google I/O events, how are you feeling about this year’s I/O?
Ultimately, we want Google I/O to be a fun experience, and help convey that excitement and enthusiasm to our readers, developers and others through our coverage of the event. It's a huge, valuable opportunity for insight into one of the most important companies around today; a starting point for ripples that we'll see impact the tech world across the following months. It's a privilege to be involved, and I can't wait to be wowed.
Not coming to Google I/O 2012 in person? Not a problem. Watch the keynote and dozens of other sessions streamed live at developers.google.com/io.

seo Countdown to Google I/O: Youthful inspiration 2013
Seo Master present to you:
By Will Smidlein, with Katie Miller, Google I/O Team
Google I/O 2012 is fast approaching, and to help energize you for three packed days of demos, announcements and developer fun, we chatted with a few attendees to see what excites them about this year’s agenda, and to get some tips on how to make the most of the event.
Today’s conversation is with 15-year-old Will Smidlein, one of the youngest I/O attendees. Will began developing at the age of 10, after checking out Teach Yourself Visually Html and Css from the local library to find out how websites work. By 13 he was teaching himself PHP to make his websites functional, as well as convincing his parents to take their next vacation in San Francisco so he could attend Google I/O. Will has developed everything from a web-based podcast client, to a JQuery script that uses the HTML5 Audio tag to run a function at a certain timecode, to creating an alarm clock that uses data from the web, such as Google Calendar, traffic, and weather information, to wake you up. This will be Will's third I/O, and he's most excited to meet with and get advice from other developers. Here’s what Will had to say:
Why is it important to you to attend Google I/O?
Google I/O always has been, and will be, a must attend for me. While flying both my father and myself from Cleveland and staying in a hotel for the length of the conference isn't exactly cheap, I wouldn't have it any other way. The people attending I/O are some of the most skilled developers in every field, and just being in the same room improves your knowledge. After almost every session I attend, I think to myself "wow, a side of a programming language was just explained to me by the person who created that language".
On a technical level, I've always been a web guy, so HTML5 is a big thing for me. I love the demos that Google puts together and the sessions from the experts about new web technologies and how to integrate them in actual applications. Having the Chrome team there is huge because you can talk with the developers of one of the most popular browsers in the world about new specs and ideas.
What do you hope to experience at Google I/O 2012? What themes or technologies will you be watching for?
One of the biggest reasons for me to attend I/O is to meet other developers, see what they're up to, and get advice. I love connecting actual faces to the IRC, GitHub, and Twitter usernames I interact with every day. I also love going to sessions that don't necessarily apply to what I do in case I need what I learn later. Just because I don't program for Android professionally now doesn't mean I won't at some point, or it won't be useful to me. Every I/O track is like its own conference, so by attending I/O, you don’t just interact with people or topics in your line of work, you're able to explore and diversify.
For people coming to Google I/O, what are your tips for making the most of the event?
Take the time to meet people. Everyone is extremely friendly, and even if they don't program in the same language as you, you'll have a blast talking to them. Go to the Sandbox presenters and see what they're showing off. Ask the session speakers any questions you have.
Also, use it as a chance to try new things. For example, before my first I/O, I had never seriously programmed with Java, but on the plane ride home from that event, I wrote my first Android app and have fallen in love with the language since. After last year's Chromebook giveaway, I challenged myself to write a web-based media center that could be controlled by my phone.
If you could send a message out to other young developers, what would you tell them?
Take this time to learn all that you can about programming. Don't pressure yourself with building a portfolio, or working for a startup, or getting to the top of Hacker News. Learn from open source, and make connections in the tech world so that when you do need to make money, you've got a 5 year head start on the competition.
Not coming to Google I/O 2012 in person? Not a problem. Watch the keynote and dozens of other sessions streamed live at developers.google.com/io.

seo Countdown to I/O: Taking the magic global with I/O Extended 2013
Seo Master present to you:
By Nils Hitze, GTUG Munich Founder, with Katie Miller, Google I/O Team
Google I/O 2012 is fast approaching, and to help energize you for three packed days of demos, announcements and developer fun, we chatted with a few attendees to see what excites them about this year’s agenda, and to get some tips on how to make the most of the event.
Today’s conversation is with Nils Hitze, the founder and leader of GTUG Munich, and organizer of this year’s I/O Extended event in Munich. Nils attended Google I/O in 2011. With the upcoming arrival of his fifth child, he’ll be attending the 2012 event from afar, and in the process offering a customized, community-oriented experience to local developers, complete with a BarCamp, Android Hackathon, and perhaps some beer! We asked Nils about the value of I/O Extended events, and what Munich’s attendees in particular can look forward to. Here’s what Nils had to say:
Why is it important to you to host I/O Extended?
I enjoy organizing events for people who are eager to learn. Plus, people think better and work better and are more creative when they are together in a room with fellow nerds (and maybe pizza, some beer, some Jolt Cola).
What's on the agenda for I/O Extended Munich?
In Munich we will cover days one and two of Google I/O. We will let people decide for themselves which sessions they want to watch. Usually it comes down to HTML5 and Android.
We add value to the public viewing by holding a BarCamp on Day 1 and an Android Hackathon on Day 2. The BarCamp is something I've done so often that I simply know it works. Bring together people that are passionate, give them a session plan and let them talk about the things they love. Of course we will have some limiting focus so we don't get "introduction to coffee roasting" as a session. Although that might be interesting too.
The Android Hackathon decision was based on the never-ending demand for Android Hacks/App/Developers and more.
What are you personally hoping to hear about this year?
Personally I want to learn more about ADK and Project Glass.
ADK, or more specifically Arduino, is such a cool project that I come across all the time. Either in QuadCopters, 3D printers, home automation - everywhere I look, Arduino is already there.
Project Glass, oh this is the easiest question to answer. It is the next level of UI and I need my hands free while cycling or when I play with my kids but I don't want to be disconnected from the Web. Plus one million cool things I could think of that would make life better/easier.
What's unique about I/O Extended Munich?
It is public viewing for nerds that is following the trend of public viewing for sports events. Also, maybe our beer steins...oh I already told too much.
You've got another big life event right around I/O Extended. Why is it so important to you to attend I/O or an I/O Extended event?
For one, in comparison to any other tech conference I’ve attended, it's bigger. Skyscraper vs house bigger. And the amount of smart people that attend is incredible. Have I mentioned the cool robot stuff that I saw? No? That stuff was epic. Plus, I’ve never seen a party like this before.
Where on earth can you meet the guy who invented Hashtags & BarCamps? Yes, Chris Messina, I am looking at you.
Not coming to Google I/O 2012 in person? Not a problem. Watch the keynote and dozens of other sessions streamed live at developers.google.com/io.
Nils Hitze is a Lvl 50 Nerd Dad of four (almost five) kids and founder of the GTUG Munich, Germany's second GTUG. In his free time he is saving the world by evangelizing 3D printing, helping open source projects, translating MMOGs and organizing BarCamps/CloudCamps/GameCamps & TechTalks. He has a serious LEGO Problem which he doen’t want to get rid of. You can follow Nils at I/O Extended Munich at @kojote and gplus.to/gtugmunich.

seo Countdown to I/O: Falling in love with Google products and celebrating at I/O 2013
Seo Master present to you:
by Aygul Zagidullina and
Misha Matiyenko-Kupriyanov, with Domenica Liberti, Google I/O Team
Google I/O 2012 is fast approaching, and to help energize you for three packed days of demos, announcements and developer fun, we chatted with a few attendees to see what excites them about this year’s agenda, and to get some tips on how to make the most of the event.
Today's conversation is with two passionate GDG leaders, Aygul and Misha, who spent part of their honeymoon at Google I/O last year! Aygul Zagidullina is a research scientist at the University of Stuttgart and Misha Matiyenko-Kupriyanov works as a web developer at Deutsche Online Medien GmbH. Their life together is documented and searchable on Google. They share their thoughts and web gems on Google+, plan trips across Europe and the US with Google Maps, check in on each other with Google Latitude, and live in the clouds with their Android devices. We would like to share with you their love story and how they are planning on making the most of 3 days of Google I/O 2012.
How did the two of you meet?
Our story began with a casual conversation in LiveJournal that we quickly outgrew and moved to Google Talk to keep up with each other by relying heavily on daily chat communication. We very quickly discovered how many similar interests and thoughts on a wide variety of topics we have. Within a month, we decided to have our first trip to Düsseldorf for Japan Day and started our shared Google Calendar and collaborative Google Docs to plan our activities and collect ideas of what we would like to do together.
In 2010 we both attended German GDG Battle organized by GDG Stuttgart . The team we both were part of got Nexus One smartphones as the first prize. At this event we fell in love with the GDG concept and became later on a part of the organizing team. It has been two exciting years now since we've joined the GDG Stuttgart's organizing team, two years full of planning and execution of public events such as Android DevCamp Stuttgart, tech talks, hackathons and many other local events on Google technologies as well as communication with local developers online via discussion boards and Google+.
Years later we are incredibly happy together, and are excited about our future. Today we can't even imagine how our life would be without technology.
Why did you choose Google I/O for your honeymoon last year?
We wanted our wedding and honeymoon to be perfect in all senses, memorable, breathtaking, and pleasantly useful! Getting married in Las Vegas and spending the honeymoon at our very first Google I/O - we could not have imagined celebrating the start of our new life together any other way. Today, one year later we are looking back and can't be happier about how right this decision was.
What’s the best memory you will always keep with you about being at Google I/O as newlyweds?
Two of our most memorable moments were definitely the keynotes on the first and second days. You had to see us, happy to tears, literally screaming with all other people in the room after each groundbreaking announcement. The feeling that technology revolution happens right here, right now is nothing but priceless!
Another amazing experience we will always keep in our hearts was meeting our international GDG community. We were extremely happy to finally put faces on the name of many GDG managers we were working with to build our community. Google gave us plenty of opportunities for communication, experience exchange and fruitful networking with members of the GDG community such as the Advocates Summit (with Vic Gundotra and Developer Relations team), GDG lounge, and a visit to the Googleplex (as a part of self-organized Silicon Valley Geek Tour).
Why is attending Google I/O important to what you do?
Aygul: I am primarily interested in fostering European (both West and East) developer communities. Being an enthusiastic co-organizer of two Google Developer Groups (GDGs) in Stuttgart, Germany and Ufa, Russia, I love engaging with local developers to help them be successful building products using Google technologies. Besides, I'm also a happy and proud Google Top Contributor (TC) at the Google+, Gmail, Google Web Search and several other product forums (English, German, and Russian) and am doing my best to help users on a daily basis to learn how to use Google products better and troubleshoot their issues. With such a broad network, many of whom cannot be at I/O in person, I am excited to take what I learn and share it with my fellow GDGers.
Misha: As a passionate web developer, I am mostly interested in web-related technologies like HTML5, Google Chrome as development tool, Google Chrome extensions, Google App Engine and the knowhow of Google APIs. Also, my skills in developing Android applications is something I would definitely like to boost. I am sure these new technologies will bring new boost to my mojo and attending I/O will inspire me to start new projects like the ones I've worked on recently, the Google Developer Day Android application, the FontVending Android application and the Helper for Google+ Chrome extension.
Tell us your plans for Google I/O this year.
Aygul: The day before we are planning to participate in the GDG Organizers Summit to meet GDG managers from around the world and discuss all together how we can take our community to the next level.
With all the sessions that are going in parallel, it's pretty challenging to choose only one session to attend at a time. I've said that I'm going to watch every Google I/O talk later at home, but some of them are definitely on my must-attend-and-hear-it-live list. Getting More from the Google+ Platform, Android Design for Success, The Web Can Do That!?, and From Weekend Hack to Funded Startup - How to Build Your Team and Raise Money are among them.
Besides Sessions and Code Labs, I'm really excited to see so many excellent products will be presented at Sandbox this year. As a true productivity junkie, I can’t wait to talk to creators of GQueues in person.
Misha: Every year Google presents at Google I/O some new pieces of technology that may form the future landscape of the web. I will make sure to learn about all the announcements on Google+ API, Google App Engine, Dart, Chrome tooling, Google Cloud Printing, and Google Drive API.
This year I would like to participate in as many Google I/O sessions as possible. Some of them are Dart - A Modern Web Language, Building Mobile App Engine Backends for Android, iOS and the Web, Beyond Paper: Google Cloud Print and the Future of Printing, and Powering your Application's Data using Google Cloud Storage. I chose these sessions because these are new Google technologies and I would like to incorporate them into my projects.
Not coming to Google I/O 2012 in person? Not a problem. Watch the keynote and dozens of other sessions streamed live at developers.google.com/io.

Misha Matiyenko-Kupriyanov, with Domenica Liberti, Google I/O Team
Google I/O 2012 is fast approaching, and to help energize you for three packed days of demos, announcements and developer fun, we chatted with a few attendees to see what excites them about this year’s agenda, and to get some tips on how to make the most of the event.
Today's conversation is with two passionate GDG leaders, Aygul and Misha, who spent part of their honeymoon at Google I/O last year! Aygul Zagidullina is a research scientist at the University of Stuttgart and Misha Matiyenko-Kupriyanov works as a web developer at Deutsche Online Medien GmbH. Their life together is documented and searchable on Google. They share their thoughts and web gems on Google+, plan trips across Europe and the US with Google Maps, check in on each other with Google Latitude, and live in the clouds with their Android devices. We would like to share with you their love story and how they are planning on making the most of 3 days of Google I/O 2012.
How did the two of you meet?
Our story began with a casual conversation in LiveJournal that we quickly outgrew and moved to Google Talk to keep up with each other by relying heavily on daily chat communication. We very quickly discovered how many similar interests and thoughts on a wide variety of topics we have. Within a month, we decided to have our first trip to Düsseldorf for Japan Day and started our shared Google Calendar and collaborative Google Docs to plan our activities and collect ideas of what we would like to do together.
In 2010 we both attended German GDG Battle organized by GDG Stuttgart . The team we both were part of got Nexus One smartphones as the first prize. At this event we fell in love with the GDG concept and became later on a part of the organizing team. It has been two exciting years now since we've joined the GDG Stuttgart's organizing team, two years full of planning and execution of public events such as Android DevCamp Stuttgart, tech talks, hackathons and many other local events on Google technologies as well as communication with local developers online via discussion boards and Google+.
Years later we are incredibly happy together, and are excited about our future. Today we can't even imagine how our life would be without technology.
Why did you choose Google I/O for your honeymoon last year?
We wanted our wedding and honeymoon to be perfect in all senses, memorable, breathtaking, and pleasantly useful! Getting married in Las Vegas and spending the honeymoon at our very first Google I/O - we could not have imagined celebrating the start of our new life together any other way. Today, one year later we are looking back and can't be happier about how right this decision was.
What’s the best memory you will always keep with you about being at Google I/O as newlyweds?
Two of our most memorable moments were definitely the keynotes on the first and second days. You had to see us, happy to tears, literally screaming with all other people in the room after each groundbreaking announcement. The feeling that technology revolution happens right here, right now is nothing but priceless!
Another amazing experience we will always keep in our hearts was meeting our international GDG community. We were extremely happy to finally put faces on the name of many GDG managers we were working with to build our community. Google gave us plenty of opportunities for communication, experience exchange and fruitful networking with members of the GDG community such as the Advocates Summit (with Vic Gundotra and Developer Relations team), GDG lounge, and a visit to the Googleplex (as a part of self-organized Silicon Valley Geek Tour).
Why is attending Google I/O important to what you do?
Aygul: I am primarily interested in fostering European (both West and East) developer communities. Being an enthusiastic co-organizer of two Google Developer Groups (GDGs) in Stuttgart, Germany and Ufa, Russia, I love engaging with local developers to help them be successful building products using Google technologies. Besides, I'm also a happy and proud Google Top Contributor (TC) at the Google+, Gmail, Google Web Search and several other product forums (English, German, and Russian) and am doing my best to help users on a daily basis to learn how to use Google products better and troubleshoot their issues. With such a broad network, many of whom cannot be at I/O in person, I am excited to take what I learn and share it with my fellow GDGers.
Misha: As a passionate web developer, I am mostly interested in web-related technologies like HTML5, Google Chrome as development tool, Google Chrome extensions, Google App Engine and the knowhow of Google APIs. Also, my skills in developing Android applications is something I would definitely like to boost. I am sure these new technologies will bring new boost to my mojo and attending I/O will inspire me to start new projects like the ones I've worked on recently, the Google Developer Day Android application, the FontVending Android application and the Helper for Google+ Chrome extension.
Tell us your plans for Google I/O this year.
Aygul: The day before we are planning to participate in the GDG Organizers Summit to meet GDG managers from around the world and discuss all together how we can take our community to the next level.
With all the sessions that are going in parallel, it's pretty challenging to choose only one session to attend at a time. I've said that I'm going to watch every Google I/O talk later at home, but some of them are definitely on my must-attend-and-hear-it-live list. Getting More from the Google+ Platform, Android Design for Success, The Web Can Do That!?, and From Weekend Hack to Funded Startup - How to Build Your Team and Raise Money are among them.
Besides Sessions and Code Labs, I'm really excited to see so many excellent products will be presented at Sandbox this year. As a true productivity junkie, I can’t wait to talk to creators of GQueues in person.
Misha: Every year Google presents at Google I/O some new pieces of technology that may form the future landscape of the web. I will make sure to learn about all the announcements on Google+ API, Google App Engine, Dart, Chrome tooling, Google Cloud Printing, and Google Drive API.
