Google Developer Day 2008 (Moscow calling)

So, here we are, Injoit team and me had a great trip to Moscow at GDD 2008.

Injoit Team

what i may say about google gathering, it was amazing - great people, interesting reports, outstanding place.

Vladimir and me

So, what did they tell us:

  • Geo Services
  • Open Social
  • Gears
  • Open Web
  • App engine
  • Chrome
  • Google Data APIs
  • Visualization API
  • YouTube API
  • Google Web Toolkit
  • Android

i really enjoy reports about GWT, App Engine, Gears & Open Social.

me

have met some interesting people from Google, there was Chris Chabot and his technology was OpenSocial i really enjoy to speak to him, excellent pro with great sense of humour. One more person from OpenSocial was Chewy Trewhella, he has helped me with some of my questions and give me bright understanding of OS principles.

Brad Neuberg taught us about Gears technology, what i may say, he is a true winner of a kick-ass award. His report was so excellent and completely comprehensible, so there were almost no “stupid” questions regarding Gears just clarifications about technology. Blobs are rulezzz ;)

Brad Neuberg

Next thing was GWT (Google Web Toolkit) - Thomas Steiner was a rapporteur on it. Thomas was quite clear and interesting at his report, he gave us app example (priwet MocKBa) and show the code. Even despite a lil mess with eclipse :) he was great with his report! Chris and me had a bet regarding one of Thomas apps. The bet title was “Will the app have an error if would have empty field” as i told Chris, there was no exception handling at code, and there might be some problem but he told me that it is not true, it should be handled by some magic :) So when the lection was finished, we’ve come to Thomas and see small error which was caused by empty field, it was so small but anyway pleasure to me that i’ve found this :)

Thomas Steiner and me

so, in conclusion i want to add, that it was great event with cool people and i have a strong will to visit it next year.

2Google: Keep going guys and you’ll achieve the highest TOP !

    Hi Alex,

    Happy you liked the GDD, and glad my app proved to be exception-free :-) Hope you and Chris agreed on a good price for the bet winner!

    Cheers,
    Tom
