TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hello.
I'm Timothy Jordan, and I'm very proud to be hosting
"The Developer Show" this week.
Let's skip the song and dance number, and jump straight
to the show.
First up, ha, the TLDR.
Go beyond just JavaScript APIs, frameworks, and the mysteries
of CSS to also learn the tooling that
can mean the difference between an average web
developer and a super-productive web developer.
Check out the recently launched web tooling
and automation course on Udacity to learn about setting up
your editor, creating powerful build scripts, live editing,
linting, and all other sorts of awesome optimizations.
It's now a lot easier to retrieve
data about an authenticated user's connections
from their contacts by using the new People API.
And it's time to update to HTTP/2,
as Chrome will no longer support SPDY
starting on May 15th, which is the anniversary of the HTTP/2
RFC.
Starting in version 49, Chrome for Android
will surface physical web content,
helping an even larger audience discover
URLs relevant to their surroundings via Eddystone
Bluetooth low-energy beacons.
Now is the time to check out the physical web and what
it can do for your users.
Use Google to rapidly build backend services
for your mobile app that scale automatically to meet demand,
automatically synchronize data across devices,
handle the offline case gracefully, and send
notifications and messages.
Learn how Hydro Coach rapidly reached 22 new markets
in this new blog post on monetization tips
straight from successful app developers.
It's a great companion to the no-nonsense guide
to app monetization we recently mentioned on this show.
Make more money from your app with in-app payments.
This video on the zen of monetization with Ido Green
shows you how.
Need an awesome functional UI testing framework for iOS?
Well, we just open-sourced the one
that we use for YouTube, Google Calendar, Google Photos, Google
Translate, and Google Play Music.
Check out the blog post for more details and the GitHub link.
The Google Summer of Code is a global program
focused on bringing more student developers into open source
software development.
Students work with a mentor open source organization
on a three-month programming project
during their break from university.
If you'd like to be a mentor organization, follow the link
and submit an application.
If you're a university researcher working
on the Internet of Things, we invite
you to participate in this technology research award
pilot.
It provides selected researchers with in-kind GIFs of Google
IoT-related technologies, with the goal
of fostering collaboration on small-scale experiments
and discovering what you can do with our software and devices.
As usual, the linked blog post has a lot more detail.
And that's your TLDR.
Let's see what's next on the show.
Oh, I get to go find Laurence Moroney on the set of "Coffee
with a Googler."
[CHEERING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi.
I'm Laurence Moroney, and I'm here
with Timothy Jordan on this next episode of "Coffee
with a Googler."
LAURENCE MORONEY: Hi, Timothy, how are you?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It doesn't feel quite right, does it?
LAURENCE MORONEY: Yeah.
Throw the script away.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So this is where the magic happens,
although not always just in this place.
You were saying that you film throughout the campus
because you really want to give a peek into the Googleplex,
not just an interview with the Googlers.
LAURENCE MORONEY: Exactly.
So it's like, you know, Google is a living, breathing
entity it seems sometimes.
We've got great people here.
We've got a fabulous campus that we get to work on.
And, you know, let's just have a peek inside of life every day
in Google while having a 10-minute chat with a Googler
over coffee.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So you've interviewed
a lot of amazing Googlers on the show.
LAURENCE MORONEY: Yes, I have.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Who have you not interviewed yet
that you want to take this opportunity
to invite on the show?
LAURENCE MORONEY: Oh, yeah.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Who's, like, would be the-- maybe give me
the top three, your crowning achievements--
LAURENCE MORONEY: Well I've already interviewed you--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: --of "Coffee with a Googler."
LAURENCE MORONEY: --so--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yeah, leave me off the list.
LAURENCE MORONEY: I mean seriously,
I would actually really love to interview Larry Page.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yes.
LAURENCE MORONEY: I would love Larry to come on the show.
So-- and we can do it in Seattle.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Remember that Google I/O
where, like, he just came up and he
talked about the things that were on his mind,
and then he took questions?
LAURENCE MORONEY: That was--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: That was amazing.
LAURENCE MORONEY: That's what made me want to join Google.
I worked for one of our competitors at the time,
and I was invited to the Google I/O Extended.
And I watched the keynote and I watched Larry take the mic
and, like, talk as he did.
But then the more he talked, the more awesome it became.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It was amazing.
LAURENCE MORONEY: And Twitter fell silent,
and then Twitter just went, this guy's awesome.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It was, like, the most earnest conversation
with a CEO in the tech industry that I think I've ever seen.
LAURENCE MORONEY: Absolutely.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yeah.
LAURENCE MORONEY: I watched that and I
said, I want to join this company, and here I am.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Here you are.
OK, that's your number one.
LAURENCE MORONEY: So Larry's number one.
So number two, oh, I think Vint Cerf.
I'd love to have Vint on.
So Vint once keynoted at a conference in Korea
that I was a speaker at, so I got to share a stage with him
for about five minutes.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: He's amazing.
LAURENCE MORONEY: He's incredible.
And the work that he has done and he continues to do
is really-- it's because of that that we
can do what we do today.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yeah.
LAURENCE MORONEY: And I would love to have Vint.
And Vint actually made a comment about a previous show
that he really loved the format.
The third one I'm going to leave to the viewers
instead of picking it myself.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Well.
LAURENCE MORONEY: So if there's-- you know,
we actually did a thing before where we asked viewers to say,
who would you like to have us interview,
and two names came up.
One of them was Larry, and the other one was Colt McAnlis.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: And you got Colt?
LAURENCE MORONEY: We got Colt, yeah.
And Colt was being Colt. He kind of-- we
swapped seats for the show.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: As he does.
LAURENCE MORONEY: And we changed shirts in the show,
and we just goofed around.
That was a whole lot of fun.
So thanks for suggesting him, folks,
but we'd love you to suggest other Googlers that you'd
love to hear from, or other technologies.
You may not know the Googler behind it,
but if you're interested in a Google technology,
we'll find the Googler behind it and we'll
chat with him over coffee.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: There's a huge playlist
talking with lots of Googlers on "Coffee with a Googler"
on the Google Developer's YouTube channel.
Please subscribe.
Don't miss a single episode.
And you've got five new episodes coming out.
LAURENCE MORONEY: Yeah.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: In fact, I think by the time this airs
two will already be out--
LAURENCE MORONEY: Two of them will already be out.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: --and three more are coming.
LAURENCE MORONEY: So yeah, we shot some today on Identity.
So we had a couple of episodes on the Google Identity
platform, including things like Smart Lock for passwords.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yeah.
LAURENCE MORONEY: And I love Identity
and I love Identity technologies.
As a developer, good Identity APIs possibly
have the biggest impact of any API,
because the amount of work that developers
will have to do to build good Identity can be crazy.
So if someone like Google can provide good Identity APIs,
and we do, it really makes developers' lives a lot easier.
So I'm a real geek for that stuff.
So we had a couple of episodes of that.
We had an awesome episode on Google Now on Tap.
If you're not familiar with it, watch the episode.
It's really cool.
And the PM of that, and her name is actually Paige Rankin,
which, I mean, she's--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It's perfect.
LAURENCE MORONEY: She was born to work for Google.
And she was a fabulous guest, and she did some great demos.
And I learned a lot about Google Now on Tap,
And particularly as a developer, if you
want to take advantage of this technology, how easy
it is for you to do so on your apps.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Very cool.
LAURENCE MORONEY: Lots of great episodes and more on the way.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Thank you, Laurence.
LAURENCE MORONEY: Thank you, Timothy.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: And that's it for our show today.
Please remember to subscribe to the channel
so you don't miss a single episode
of "Coffee with a Googler" or "The Developer Show."
I'd like to thank my producers, my parents,
my lovely girlfriend, and of course you, our fans.
Without you, none of this would be possible.
I'm Timothy Jordan, and I'll see you next week.
