Hello, and welcome to another episode of GDL-IL--
GDL Israel.
Today we're going to go over real briefly on several
updates and news that I gather, and I'll try to share
with you some of the useful links that I'm
using day in, day out.
We had this week here in Campus Tel Aviv, a great event
on Google Cloud and all the new features, services, and
new APIs that you could leverage.
And I'll put in the show notes the links to one other
recording from this event, and second, the presentation, so
even if you missed it, you will be able to check the
videos, and of course, go with the slides.
So without further ado, let me just share my screen with you
and let's jump right in.
This is a place where I'm trying to gather old and new
cool things that are happening in Chrome platform, in Chrome
environment.
Now for those of you that are not aware, today Chrome is
quite a huge platform.
It's not only the browser, which is very, very popular
and conquering more and more users every day, it's Chrome,
Chrome on Mobile, of course Chrome on Android, Chrome on
iOS, Chrome in Google TV, and of course, Chrome in all
[INAUDIBLE]
laptop, desktop, mobile devices, and tablets.
So from four inch screen size up to 70 or 90 inch TV, you've
got Chrome there as a platform.
Not to mention Chrome OS with all the great new devices,
like the Pixel and the Chromebook and the ChromeVox
that letting you enjoy this powerful ecosystem.
So this is the site.
I'll try just to put it maybe a bit bigger here, so for the
ones of you that watch it afterwards--
let's just do that.
So this is the link.
And one of the very new, cool things that I put here is some
summary of all Chrome use that are
happening around the world.
And we just touch about a few of them.
So first and foremost is this great source that if you are
not aware of-- it's Peter Beverloo blog, and he's one of
the powerful, great guys out there that is bringing to us
all the latest and greatest in terms of what's going on in
Chromium Open Source Project.
So if you want to save yourself the trouble of going
and do a commitdiff and trying to check and see what are all
the thousands of contributors or hundreds of contributors
are doing inside Blink, Chromium, et cetera.
Peter is bringing us almost on a weekly basis all the latest
and greatest in terms of news, and as you can see here, there
are some very, very nice things.
Some are really important, like we going to have now a
new, fancy dinosaur on all the offline page in Chrome.
Let me make it bigger so it will be better.
Yes.
So this is a very important one, of course.
But there are some real important features that you
might want to check and see how they are influencing your
mobile web app or your desktop next development or project.
So this is one source--
Peter.sh.
Let me put it a bit bigger here so you could all see it
later on nicely as well.
So this is the site.
Definitely register to his RSS feed or just check out the
blog from time to time, because you get a great, great
summary of what's going on inside the Chrome kingdom.
Another great source, that basically it's just a few
other links over here, is Chrome Release blog.
So I got this week few questions from developers--
how can I be updated about new channels that are
being pushed live?
And as you all know, Chrome is being updated every six weeks.
And in this Google Chrome Releases blog--
this is the URL, of course--
you could just keep yourself updated on all the new things
that are happening and are going out there.
It could be the dev channel [INAUDIBLE], it could be the
beta, it could be their release candidate, and of
course, the final versions of Chrome.
And one of the nice things here is that you could also
register yourself to certain labels.
So if you, let's say, interested in Chrome for iOS
or Chrome Better Version, because you want to test
things automatically before they are being pushed to their
final version, you could just go, and as you see here, very
easily go on a specific label and just keep yourself update
with this specific type of Chrome.
Other useful links are here.
The official Chromium blog and Chrome blog, of course, and
for those of you that are active on G+, you probably
want to follow Chrome on G+.
Another great source that I found from time
to time quite helpful--
it's an unofficial source, but nevertheless, it's bringing
some new, exciting things into your place--
is just this blog which called Google System Blog post.
Again, it's unofficial blog, but from time to time, I find
myself checking out what's going on here, and they're
pretty good at catching and updating what's going on in
Google ecosystem.
In terms of what happening in the past month-- so I had this
really cool event about startups and the slides are
here, so you are most welcome to check them out.
Except that we did several very interesting GDLs in July.
If you want to test the water and see what is Compute Engine
and what is all about, please go ahead and check this link.
Let's open it and see.
So this is basically a short tutorial that I put and it's
part, of course, of GDL-IL series, which lets you test
the water if you will.
On Compute Engine, quite quickly--
it's written here five minutes.
I guess that for some of you, it will take even less.
If you're taking out all the manual process of putting the
billing in place, then very quickly you could launch your
own virtual Box.
It might be CentOS, might be Debian, and quite quickly you
could work and be productive on it.
Some very, very interesting things--
here are all the five easy steps that you need to follow.
And another very important link that I would love to
share with you is the cloud.google.com.
Basically on this one URL, we're trying to gather all the
vast, enormous actually, offering in our Cloud
resources, products, and solutions.
So quite quickly, if you're going to this one link, you
could click on Products and see all the different area
that you could utilize and leverage.
And in our specific case-- let's jump
in to Compute Engine--
quite quickly you could see what are the benefits, what
are the main features that you gaining.
If you wish you compare it with a current Cloud provider
or a current, let's say, private Cloud that you are
using or any other different solution, quite quickly here
you could find what will move the needle for you and then
follow up on it and make sure that this is the right tool
for the job.
One click here and you could try it, and it's again
something very, very cool to check out, specifically, if
you have cases where Google App Engine is not support your
specific technology.
Without mentioning names, I met big company that's still
using Perl in production, and of course, Google App Engine
would be a good solution for them.
But they definitely wanted to test and check Compute Engine
because their working with Debian in production, and then
it might be a perfect solution for them.
BigQuery--
it's another very interesting big topic.
If you have terabytes of log or any other big data that you
want to check, here in this episode of GDL-IL, I just show
you how you could work with BigQuery from JavaScript, and
most specifically from Appscript, and be productive
with it and analyze your enormous data.
It's quite amazing to see BigQuery these days, because
in that specific example, we showed how you are slicing and
dicing more than 400 gigabytes of data from HttpArchive and
basically getting for some real interesting insights in
terms of trends on what going on the leading
sites on the web.
So this is the place where you want to check it, BigQuery
Power With JavaScript, and quite quickly here you could
see how easy it is to work with simple SQL statements
like these that are returning in less than a few seconds and
letting you have some interesting thought and
results out of it.
In this specific example by the way, we are going all over
Wikipedia and just seeing what are the most popular topics,
articles basically, that's being changed.
And here you can see the leading of the table.
And this is the example that I mentioned about HttpArchive
and how you could utilize this specific
big data with BigQuery.
Last but not least is, of course, what I mentioned--
yesterday, we had a big Cloud event, and this is
the summary of it.
And you have here the slides and of course more than three
hours of talks that you are most welcome to just watch and
see what's interesting for you.
So let's see, today as I promised, we're
going to keep it short.
We have a few people here that I see.
If someone have any questions, now is a perfect time to ask,
and if not, just please feel free to reach out on me on
GBlast, Twitter, or any other channel.
Let me put here, again, just so you could see what is the
best channels.
So on G+, of course, it will be GreenIdo in one word, and
on Twitter, it will be the same.
Just use whatever channel you feel comfortable with.
And of course, we have here down at the bottom a summary
of all the GDL Israel episodes that we had in the past.
Quite a lot of really good content here, so if you
interesting in design, in web components, HTML5, Chrome,
Chrome OS, Angular, and more and more, just feel free to go
here and check it out.
So until next time, thank you very much for joining me.
And I hope that you'll have a very productive week.
Bye bye.
