seo Developers go big for business at Google I/O 2010 2013
Seo Master present to you: 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:
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!

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.
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!

seo GWT at Google I/O 2010 2013
Seo Master present to you: This year's Google I/O was one to remember, with demos and presentations that showcased the power of HTML5 for consumers and businesses, as well as a complete proliferation of Android apps and devices (some of which ended up in the hands of attendees).
Day one included a keynote presentation by our own Bruce Johnson and SpringSource's Ben Alex. Here they announced the Google and VMware partnership which makes it easy for developers to harness the power of Spring Roo and GWT to build rich enterprise web apps that are cloud portable. As part of this announcement, the GWT team released GWT 2.1 M1, which not only includes VMware integration, but also Data Presentation Widgets and an MVP Framework.
Along with the great keynotes, there were plenty of in-depth GWT sessions. In the event that you missed them, here's a recap:
It was fantastic meeting everyone out at I/O, and we hope that it was as exciting and educational for you as it was for us. As always, stay on top of the latest GWT 2.1 release progress on the GWT Blog, and be on the lookout for posts from other I/O tracks coming soon!

As part of this announcement, the GWT team released GWT 2.1 M1, which not only includes VMware integration, but also Data Presentation Widgets and an MVP Framework.
Along with the great keynotes, there were plenty of in-depth GWT sessions. In the event that you missed them, here's a recap:
- Measure in milliseconds redux: Meet Speed Tracer - Kelly Norton is back for round two to demonstrate what milliseconds of latency means to end-users, as well as how to identify the sources of latency within your app using Speed Tracer.
- Faster apps faster: Optimizing apps with the GWT Compiler - Have you ever wondered how you can speed up your GWT compiles? If so, follow along with Ray Cromwell as he delves into this topic, as well as other tips and tricks that you can use to streamline development with GWT.
- Architecting for performance with GWT - Last year we announced Google Wave, a cutting edge web app that introduces a new way of collaborating and communicating. This year Wave team lead Adam Shuck, and GWT UI guru Joel Webber share with everyone the optimizations both teams use when building GWT-based web apps.
- GWT Linkers target HTML5 Web Workers, Chrome Extensions, and more - GWT has some extremely interesting technology under the hood, and Matt Mastracci, CTO of dotspots, knows this as well as anyone else. For this year's I/O he provides an overview of GWT linkers, as well as how they created a one that turns a GWT module into an HTML5 Web Worker, and one that generates an HTML App Cache manifest automatically.
- GWT's UI overhaul: UiBinder, ClientBundle, and Layout Panels - GWT 2.0 shipped with some major UI enhancements that make it very easy to speed up your app, decrease load time, and control layout. In this session, Ray Ryan and Joel Webber show you how these new features interact with one another, and how you can use them to create the most optimal web app.
- GWT + HTML5 can do what?! If you missed the YouTube video of Quake II running in the browser, this session not only replays it, but goes into great detail as to how the three Googlers actually made it happen using HTML5 features such as WebGL and WebSockets.
- GWT testing best practices - In 2009, Ray Ryan gave a talk on how to architect a GWT app using the MVP design pattern. This year, Wave's Daniel Danilatos follows-up on Ray's talk, with a detailed overview of how to remove the pain of testing GWT apps using the MVP architecture.
- Architecting GWT applications for production at Google - If you haven't noticed, it's required that at least one of Ray's talks has the word "Architecting" in it. The good news is that his talks live up to their titles, and this session is no exception. Not only does Ray evolve the concepts discussed in his 2009, "Best Practices for Architecting GWT Apps", he dives into some of the upcoming GWT 2.1 features, and invites Ben Alex, from VMware, on stage to talk about the integration between Spring Roo and GWT.
It was fantastic meeting everyone out at I/O, and we hope that it was as exciting and educational for you as it was for us. As always, stay on top of the latest GWT 2.1 release progress on the GWT Blog, and be on the lookout for posts from other I/O tracks coming soon!

seo The App Engine Team’s trip to I/O 2010 (Recap & Videos) 2013
Seo Master present to you: This year’s Google I/O included a flurry of announcements and presentations for the App Engine team. Thanks to everyone who attended our sessions, stopped by the Sandbox, or came to meet the team at our office hours. It was great to meet all of you. For the App Engine developers out there that weren't able to make it out this year, we wanted to give you a quick recap on what you missed.
We opened up the first day’s keynote with App Engine’s very own Kevin Gibbs announcing App Engine for Business and doing a demo of the new Business Admin Console. There’s lots of great new features coming with App Engine for Business so if you missed the announcement, please read more about it and sign up to be a part of the preview. We also announced our work with VMWare to connect our development tools in order to allow developers to use SpringSource tools and Google Web Toolkit to build applications and deploy them on App Engine.
If you were watching the keynote, you might have missed the announcement that we released version 1.3.4 of the App Engine SDK which included a brand new bulkloader and experimental support for OpenID and OAuth. The Blobstore API is also no longer experimental and supports files up to 2GB in size.
In addition to all the high profile announcements in the keynote, we also hosted a number of great sessions about App Engine development for the rest of the conference. Thanks to the dedicated I/O organizers, videos of all the App Engine sessions are now available so anyone can watch them (with more to come in the next few days):
There’s plenty of great information in all the presentations, so for those of you that missed, we highly recommend you watch the videos and read the slides. For everyone else that made it to I/O this year, thank you for making this year’s I/O a complete success. It’s incredibly energizing for us to see all your hard work, thoughtful questions, and great ideas on App Engine. We’re already excited to see what you all surprise us with at next year’s I/O!

Thanks to the dedicated I/O organizers, videos of all the App Engine sessions are now available so anyone can watch them (with more to come in the next few days):
- Appstats - RPC instrumentation and optimizations for App Engine - Guido van Rossum went into detail on how to use Appstats, a new tool for App Engine developers which provides deep insight into why requests are slow and what they’re doing under the covers.
- Run corporate applications on Google App Engine? Yes we do - Ben Fried (Google’s CIO) and his team joined us to give an update on their progress of moving Google’s corporate applications to App Engine, the problems they ran into, and the success they had. They also announced that two of their apps are now being open sourced for anyone to use.
- Batch data processing with App Engine - Mike Aizatsky introduced Mapper, a new tool which allows App Engine developers which makes it simple to write code that is run over large datasets such as a Blobstore file or Datastore entities.
- Data migration in App Engine - Matthew Blain gave a complete introduction to the brand new Bulk Loader which shipped as part of App Engine’s 1.3.4 SDK. The session also provided a look into how to use the Bulk Loader with Java applications and ways to import complex data models from a number of different sources.
- What's hot in Java for App Engine - The same duo from last year’s introduction of the Java SDK, Don Schwarz and Toby Reyelts, were back again this year to give an update on the progress of the Java SDK. Performance optimizations, compatibility, and new APIs are all covered giving a peak under the hood for Java developers.
- Building high-throughput data pipelines with Google App Engine - Brett Slatkin reviewed the Task Queue and introduced a number of strategies used to improve the performance of applications doing very high volumes of task queue work. This session is based on lessons learned by Brett while building PubSubHubbub on App Engine.
- Testing techniques for Google App Engine - Max Ross argued the virtues of proper software testing and then went to detail on how to test your App Engine code properly and how to use App Engine to test all the rest of your code.
- Next gen queries - Alfred Fuller closed out the conference with a great overview of recent improvements to the Datastore query planner and the new types of queries that are possible, as well as a look at a few features on the horizon.
There’s plenty of great information in all the presentations, so for those of you that missed, we highly recommend you watch the videos and read the slides.

seo A new species of I/O speaker: VCs who can code 2013
Seo Master present to you: With Google I/O less than 2 weeks away, we’re working hard on putting the finishing touches on the 85+ technical sessions we have in store for developers. We’re thrilled for the 180+ speakers who’ll be joining us at I/O, all of whom are talented, technical, and brilliant in their own right. One group of speakers I’m particularly excited about and would like to shine the spotlight on: the venture capital crowd.
This is the first time we’re having VCs speak at I/O. We’re excited about the ones who’ll be participating in I/O sessions. Not only are their insights on technology highly regarded, but most of them are also programmers by trade, have been in the shoes of many I/O attendees (as a developer or entrepreneur), and still tinker with code in their spare time. They’ve got strong opinions on developer tools and technology and often don’t agree with each other, which should make for exciting sessions:
We're looking forward to adding the VC perspective to I/O this year. With just 9 days left, the countdown continues! 2013, By: Seo Master

seo And the glory goes to...Last Call for Google I/O winners 2013
Seo Master present to you:
This post is by Monica Tran of the Google I/O Team. In the past four years, Monica has been around the world, working as a Product Marketing Manager in Mountain View, London, and Tokyo. Now that she's come full circle to Developer Marketing, she is focused primarily on Google I/O and our international Developer Days. -scottk
It seems like only yesterday that we announced our Last Call for Google I/O contest. We’ve been keeping busy, judging Round 2 submissions for all 10 of our challenges. The winners have been notified via email and will receive a pass to this year’s sold-out Google I/O. Also, all of the Round 1 answers, as well as Round 2 prompts have been posted to the contest site.
We were really impressed with the quality of the submissions--especially with less than 24 hours to turn the code around! Check out screenshots of some of the winning entries below, along with notes from members of each Google Developer Relations group, and stay tuned for more surprises from the I/O team.
Judging was easy for the Android challenge, because our first run through the apps produced a total of exactly 10 places where the reviewer said “Nice!”. Above you see a screenshot of the “Party mode” in Charles Vaughn’s “Bounce Clock”. Read about the details on our Android Developers Blog.
- Tim Bray, Android Developer Advocate
(Click a doodle to go to its site and interact.)
We received a lot of nifty doodles and it was tough to pick only ten winners. Some of the particularly fun doodles were interactive or involved a game of some sort (like Pong, or Simon with the Chrome logo). We definitely appreciated being able to view the source code of the web page to see how developers took advantage of the latest HTML, CSS, and JS technologies.
- Jeffrey Chang, Chrome Product Manager
(Click a screen shot to play a game.)
Congratulations to everyone who knew the Konami code and somehow managed to recall that Kuribo’s Shoe is only found on one stage of World Five in Super Mario Bros. 3...and after remembering all that, were still able to write a game in only 24 hours. Apparently playing video games as a kid doesn’t rot your brain as much as our moms said it would.
Almost all of our submissions were fun, technically impressive, or both. The judges were video game industry veterans, so we weren’t wowed by flashy graphics alone. We tried to reward a balance of fun gameplay and technical prowess. Some of the games were actually pretty addictive!
- Ian Lewis, Games Developer Advocate
We saw some great submissions that put the new iframe Player API through its paces! The winning submissions offered a mix of cross-browser compatibility, stylish user interface, and the ability to reuse the player for arbitrary sequences anywhere on the web.
- Jeffrey Posnick, YouTube Developer Advocate
Our Google Apps challenge was built around Google Apps Script, a JavaScript cloud scripting language that allows developers to automate tasks across Google products and interact with 3rd-party APIs. In round 1, we asked contestants to find the median stock price of stock symbols. Round 2 was a fairly open challenge, and the winning submissions performed tasks such as predicting future traffic accidents on Google Maps, producing a daily meeting agenda using Google Calendar and LinkedIn, and sharing Flickr pictures via e-mail to friends and family.
- Ryan Boyd, Google Apps Developer Advocate
We enjoyed seeing how much the ten top entries were able to achieve in such a short time in developing a caption rating app for YouTube (at least one dedicated tweeter pulled an all-nighter). Our top picks really impressed us with the accessibility and polish of their UI. All of them have TalkBack speech support through the Android Accessibility API. Most of the winners have already published and open sourced their work. If these apps inspire you, take a look at the source and contribute!
- Naomi Black, Accessibility Technical Program Manager
They say that great minds think alike, and in the case of Google Commerce, our developers created similar mashups. A simple store based on Google Product Search and Google Checkout could be a powerful tool for mom and pop shops. We hope our developers had fun learning about the commerce products that Google offers.
- Ossama Alami, Commerce/Geo Developer Relations
We asked developers to create a mobile web application to discover interesting walks around San Francisco. We had some really impressive entries, especially given they were developed in a very short timeframe.
- Ossama Alami, Commerce/Geo Developer Relations
We were very impressed with the creativity and performance of the I/O countdown entries. All of the submissions were great examples of what is possible with GWT and HTML5/CSS3. It was an extremely tight competition that came down to tough decisions based on originality, visual appeal, and the size of the resulting JavaScript.
- Chris Ramsdale, GWT/Developer Tools Program Engineer
Developers submitted a simple Fibonacci web app in Round 1, where the key was to demonstrate that you correctly handled bad input. We were amazed at the apps that were submitted for Round 2, where we asked developers to create an interesting app using one or more of several App Engine APIs. From making book recommendations to visualizing author impact on PubMed (a favorite of mine, my wife being an academic in medicine), we found many apps useful, well designed, and often quite elaborate.
- Patrick Chanezon, App Engine Developer Relations
Congratulations from the entire Google I/O team to the winners of all the challenges. The bar was quite high and even if you didn’t win, we hope you learned something while building your applications. We encourage you to hone your skills for challenges to come!

Some of the particularly fun doodles were interactive or involved a game of some sort (like Pong, or Simon with the Chrome logo). We definitely appreciated being able to view the source code of the web page to see how developers took advantage of the latest HTML, CSS, and JS technologies.
- Jeffrey Chang, Chrome Product Manager
Games

Congratulations to everyone who knew the Konami code and somehow managed to recall that Kuribo’s Shoe is only found on one stage of World Five in Super Mario Bros. 3...and after remembering all that, were still able to write a game in only 24 hours. Apparently playing video games as a kid doesn’t rot your brain as much as our moms said it would.
Almost all of our submissions were fun, technically impressive, or both. The judges were video game industry veterans, so we weren’t wowed by flashy graphics alone. We tried to reward a balance of fun gameplay and technical prowess. Some of the games were actually pretty addictive!
- Ian Lewis, Games Developer Advocate
YouTube
We saw some great submissions that put the new iframe Player API through its paces! The winning submissions offered a mix of cross-browser compatibility, stylish user interface, and the ability to reuse the player for arbitrary sequences anywhere on the web.
- Jeffrey Posnick, YouTube Developer Advocate
Apps
Our Google Apps challenge was built around Google Apps Script, a JavaScript cloud scripting language that allows developers to automate tasks across Google products and interact with 3rd-party APIs. In round 1, we asked contestants to find the median stock price of stock symbols. Round 2 was a fairly open challenge, and the winning submissions performed tasks such as predicting future traffic accidents on Google Maps, producing a daily meeting agenda using Google Calendar and LinkedIn, and sharing Flickr pictures via e-mail to friends and family.
- Ryan Boyd, Google Apps Developer Advocate
Accessibility
We enjoyed seeing how much the ten top entries were able to achieve in such a short time in developing a caption rating app for YouTube (at least one dedicated tweeter pulled an all-nighter). Our top picks really impressed us with the accessibility and polish of their UI. All of them have TalkBack speech support through the Android Accessibility API. Most of the winners have already published and open sourced their work. If these apps inspire you, take a look at the source and contribute!
- Naomi Black, Accessibility Technical Program Manager
Commerce
They say that great minds think alike, and in the case of Google Commerce, our developers created similar mashups. A simple store based on Google Product Search and Google Checkout could be a powerful tool for mom and pop shops. We hope our developers had fun learning about the commerce products that Google offers.
- Ossama Alami, Commerce/Geo Developer Relations
Geo
We asked developers to create a mobile web application to discover interesting walks around San Francisco. We had some really impressive entries, especially given they were developed in a very short timeframe.
- Ossama Alami, Commerce/Geo Developer Relations
Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
We were very impressed with the creativity and performance of the I/O countdown entries. All of the submissions were great examples of what is possible with GWT and HTML5/CSS3. It was an extremely tight competition that came down to tough decisions based on originality, visual appeal, and the size of the resulting JavaScript.
- Chris Ramsdale, GWT/Developer Tools Program Engineer
App Engine
Developers submitted a simple Fibonacci web app in Round 1, where the key was to demonstrate that you correctly handled bad input. We were amazed at the apps that were submitted for Round 2, where we asked developers to create an interesting app using one or more of several App Engine APIs. From making book recommendations to visualizing author impact on PubMed (a favorite of mine, my wife being an academic in medicine), we found many apps useful, well designed, and often quite elaborate.
- Patrick Chanezon, App Engine Developer Relations
Congratulations from the entire Google I/O team to the winners of all the challenges. The bar was quite high and even if you didn’t win, we hope you learned something while building your applications. We encourage you to hone your skills for challenges to come!
