TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hello, I'm Timothy Jordan
for "The Developer Show."
And this is your weekly source for the coolest developer
news from Google.
In this last week of the year, we're
taking a look back at some of the coolest and biggest
announcements that we've covered.
Here's your Dev Show 2019 Year in Review.
TODD KERPELMAN: Greetings, Earthlings.
My name is Mor-- uh, Todd--
[LAUGHTER]
--with "The Developer Show."
So your planet still uses streaming video to communicate?
Why not just use the mind blork?
Huh?
[LAUGHTER]
Have it your way then.
The Android Developer Summit gave us
more exciting announcements than you could shake a flooky at.
Highlights include new Jetpack libraries for everything
from better performance benchmarking to easier camera
implementation, a new Compose UI library for creating
beautiful native apps, a new advanced Kotlin
course on Udacity, and the first Canary build of Android Studio
4.0.
SPEAKER 1: It contains a preview of our Compose tool,
like preview, code completion, and the full sample
of a Compose app.
Also included in Android Studio 4.0 Canary 1,
we have the sugaring for Java 8, motion editor,
full ID support for KPS files, and Kotlin-like templates.
SPEAKER 2: After more than a year of development
and months of testing by early adopters,
we're finally ready to introduce Android 10 to the world.
Android 10 is built around three important things.
First, Android 10 is shaping the leading edge
of mobile innovation with advanced machine learning
and support for emerging devices like foldables
and 5G-enabled phones.
Next, Android 10 has a central focus on privacy and security,
with almost 50 features that give users greater protection,
transparency, and control.
Finally, Android 10 expands users' digital well-being
controls so individuals and families can find a better
balance with technology.
EMILY FORTUNA: I'm here at Flutter Interact in New York,
an event showcasing the power of Flutter
to create beautiful apps.
First off, Flutter 1.12 is now available,
bringing improvements in how you can add Flutter
to existing mobile apps, adding significant polish on Cupertino
widgets, and introducing the power
of extension methods and the ability
to call C code from Dart.
SPEAKER 3: The .dev domain is now available to anyone through
your registrar of choice.
We envision .dev as a home for developers from tools
to programming languages and blogs.
SPEAKER 4: The Firebase Summit was in Madrid last week.
A bunch of useful stuff launched,
including Firebase extensions, which
are prepackaged bundles of code designed
to automate common tasks.
SPEAKER 5: And my favorite new launch here at the Firebase
Summit is support for web applications in Google
Analytics using Firebase SDKs.
This makes it much easier to understand
the behavior of your users as they switch
between the web and mobile versions of your app,
and even across devices they use.
SPEAKER 6: There were over 120 announcements at Google Cloud
Next last week, including the new Seoul and Salt Lake City
regions, along with updates across the Google Cloud
Platform, including hybrid cloud, serverless,
API management, storage, networking, security, identity,
access management, analytics, AI and machine learning, Chrome
Enterprise, and much more.
SPEAKER 7: Google Play Points rewards
program is now expanding to the United States,
following successful launches in Japan and Korea.
Your users can be rewarded for any purchase they make on Play,
including apps, games, in-app items, subscriptions, and more.
So if your app is on Play Billing,
users will earn points on your apps and games immediately.
SPEAKER 8: Chrome Dev Summit is back again
for another year in San Francisco.
And there are a bunch of things we're excited to talk about.
The first edition of the Web Almanac has just launched.
The almanac combines extensive HTTP archived data
for millions of URLs with the expertise
of many top contributors in the web ecosystem.
It's an annual state of the web report containing
20 chapters that covers every major aspect of the web,
including page content, user experience, and content
distribution.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: With the Google Maps Platform for gaming,
we use the power of Google Maps and our real time
global understanding of the world
to take mobile gaming to the next level.
We're making new features available to build gameplay
that's even more contextualized and more engaging,
including biome, elevation, and pathfinding.
SPEAKER 9: TensorFlow 2.0 Alpha is here.
This new version of TensorFlow is
about providing simple and easy to use
higher level APIs focused on Keras and eager execution.
The big announcement came to the TensorFlow Dev
Summit in Sunnyvale, California this last week.
SPEAKER 10: This is really the biggest announcement
of the summit.
TF 2.0 is all about making TensorFlow simple and easy
to use with higher level APIs focused
on Keras and eager execution.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So responsibility to our users
was the first core part of the Android Developer keynote.
Now how does this relate to developers?
DANIEL GALPIN: Well, users trusting
the platform is inherently important to developers.
Downloading an app is something we all
want users to feel comfortable doing.
And that's why we've given users more control
over their identity, [INAUDIBLE] apps run in the background,
and about how apps share storage with each other.
SPEAKER 11: And is this running on Unity?
SPEAKER 12: It's running on Unity.
SPEAKER 11: And so now crash analytics
for Unity will actually let me, as a developer,
find out if there are crashes in my game
and where they're happening.
SPEAKER 12: Exactly.
So you can go through, find your stack trace,
and then narrow in on the bugs that are affecting your game.
WAYNE PIEKARSKI: We're here at Shoreline Amphitheater, where
there's a bunch of really cool demos, and exhibits,
and fun things to do.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going
to take you on a live guided tour of all the really
cool stuff here.
Oh, wow, look.
See, you can see all these augmented reality flowers
on here.
And it's really cool.
You can do a 360 video when you're sitting in a motorcycle.
I feel so incredibly realistic.
SPEAKER 13: Hi!
WAYNE PIEKARSKI: Hi Can I have hug?
SPEAKER 13: Hi.
Oh.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
SPEAKER 14: I could do it right here.
Is that cool?
WAYNE PIEKARSKI: Sure.
SPEAKER 14: Ow!
WAYNE PIEKARSKI: [LAUGHS]
SPEAKER 14: We got a unicorn!
WAYNE PIEKARSKI: What?
SPEAKER 14: I want to go dancing!
WAYNE PIEKARSKI: All right, let's do it!
[JAZZY MUSIC]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
SPEAKER 13: What do you want to see next year?
SPEAKER 15: AR dog walking, fox to track.
SPEAKER 13: AR dog walking.
You heard it here first.
It's our next track.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Please remember to like, subscribe, and share.
I'm Timothy Jordan.
And on behalf of the whole Dev Show team, happy New Year.
Thanks for watching.
And we'll see you in 2020.
My name's on this, but upside down.
Check it out.
SPEAKER 16: If that happens.
Pretty smart, right?
