TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hello.
And welcome to "The Developer Show."
This is your tl;dr.
Add immersive audio experiences to your virtual reality apps
with spatial audio, now available
in the Cardboard SDKs for Unity and Android.
Learn how you can use Google Sign in with your server,
in this post by Laurence Moroney,
the third in a series about using
Google Sign in on Android.
You can now generate and distribute
promo codes to current and new users on Google Play,
to drive engagement with your app.
Use them to reward loyal users, encourage app reviews,
and attract new customers.
There's a brand new set of Android development patterns
coming soon.
The goal of the series is to highlight
the fundamental components and best practices that
can make the biggest difference in your app.
Make sure to subscribe to the channel
so you don't miss a single episode.
Learn where your game players get stuck, what virtual goods
they buy, or how to tailor the game
for both casual and hardcore players,
by using Google's Web Scale Analytics services.
This post shows you how.
We're not just videos.
Check out all the helpful written content
on the Google developer's medium publication, written
by engineers for engineers.
That's you.
Enroll in Nanodegree Plus, and Udacity
will guarantee you'll get hired within six
months of graduating, or they'll refund 100% of your tuition.
What are you waiting for?
It's time to start that career today.
And you know what?
Sebastian Thrun and Peter Lubbers are in the other room
right now, doing a Twitter Q&A. Do you want to crash it?
I know I do.
HEATHER FAISON: So right now, we're
having our first #devtraining Twitter chat.
I let everyone know that they can jump in.
They can ask questions.
So now I'm going to put in question one.
Technology is a global opportunity.
What does this mean for potential developers?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Well, Sebastian, I actually
have a question for you, around this,
because you started Udacity as a passion,
to change how people learn.
SEBASTIAN THRUN: Yes.
And as an accident, I should say.
It wasn't really a plan, to start it.
We just put a class online that collected 160,000 students.
And then I decided, wow, that's quite amazing.
Like we had a soldier in Afghanistan who, overnight,
tried to take classes, or a mother
who was raising two children and was
desperate about getting some sort of self accomplishment.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yeah.
SEBASTIAN THRUN: And seeing those people,
and comparing them to my Stanford students,
my Stanford students don't need me as much as some
of these people in the world.
MAARTEN: My name is Maarten.
FEBRIA: My name is Febria.
MARIO: I have always wanted to do the degree,
but I could not afford moving out of my home city.
PATRICK: I decided to change paths and become a programmer.
MOYINOLUWA: I've been learning online
for as long as I can remember.
HEATHER FAISON: OK.
Next question.
There's so much momentum around @Tech right now.
Why is this movement such a big deal?
SEBASTIAN THRUN: So I think, as the Nanodegree agreement
matures, and as we're placing more and more people in jobs,
I think students will ask the question,
should I pay $300 a month and get a job?
Or should I pay $3,000 a month and get no job?
So in Silicon Valley, what really
matters is, what can you do?
So if you have a fantastic portfolio, for example,
that you bid at Udacity and Google,
they might be synonymous with a good college degree.
In fact, I know startup companies
who just pay zero attention to the college and 100%
to the work you've done in the past.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: All right.
Is there anything else that you want
to say to our developer audience about Udacity
or your favorite thing in the world?
What is your favorite thing in the world?
SEBASTIAN THRUN: I love you guys in the developer community so
much.
You guys are forward looking.
You understand where the future is going.
You are part of the fastest growing technology
in the universe, ever, which is called Android.
And keep it up.
Keep learning.
Stay humble and hungry.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Thanks, Sebastian.
Well, that was fun.

MALE SPEAKER: Hey, Wayne, could you
push [INAUDIBLE] to the GitHub repository, so I can test it?
WAYNE: Yeah.
Sure.
I'll take care of it.
MALE SPEAKER: Great.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
WAYNE: Network's down?
Cannot resolve host?
Oh, man, the network cable's broken.
Now I've got to go buy another cable.
OK, Google.
Get directions to the nearest electronics store.
What?
Something went wrong?
No network?
Arrgh!
No battery now?
Arrgh!
Oh, I don't need the map.
I'll be fine.
Oh!
Err!
MALE SPEAKER: Hey, Wayne, did you push those commits yet?
WAYNE: What does it look like I'm doing?
