TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hi, I'm Timothy Jordan,
and this is the Developer Show.
We're here at Google I/O 2016.
And over the next several weeks, we're
going to be putting out some episodes on specific topics
discussed here at I/O. But for now, this
is what it felt like to be here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We're here at the ground floor of Google I/O 2016.
I'm here with Dion Almaer.
Dion, how are you doing?
DION ALMAER: I'm doing really well.
Yourself?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: I'm doing fantastic.
DION ALMAER: It's go time.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: We are T minus two days.
DION ALMAER: Yes.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: We're going to sneak around and take
a look at the I/O grounds right before it gets done.
So you get a behind-the-scenes look
at how I/O 2016 came together.
DION ALMAER: Let's do it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Oh, now this is a completely different
micro environment.
I think there's going to be a lot of Android
and some Firebase talks in here.
DION ALMAER: Yeah, even some improv comedy.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Is that in here too?
OK.
Let's go find some people.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
OK, so Chet Haase is here to tell us
about the cool stuff that's getting set up.
Now is there anything that you're
going to announce that you don't want
to tell our audience right now?
CHET HAASE: Yeah.
We're going to need to bleep out the following phrase-- [BLEEP]
and this next one too.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Android.
CHET HAASE: [BLEEP] not yet.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: OK.
What do you hope for this I/O outside of your sessions?
CHET HAASE: Really good developer engagement.
Is that the phrase you were looking for?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yes, thank you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Tell me about the dinosaur.
DION ALMAER: Yeah, so there's this fun little feature
of Chrome where if you're offline,
a little dinosaur comes out, and there's actually
a game that's in there.
And you start hitting the space bar and it jumps around.
And this year, we want to kill this dinosaur.
We want to kill him.
We always think of the offline use
case of like, oh, what if we make it so when Timothy's
on a plane, it still works?
But in reality, with cell networks and the like,
it's going up and down all the time.
So you don't want to just be in that second
where you've got poor network capability, all of it
stops responding.
Now you can take ownership of that.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Well let's play a game of foosball.
I think we're going to explore this in some detail
again later too.
But the cool thing is it's got NFC.
And you can just tap your Android phone
and it keeps score for you.
DION ALMAER: So what would the score be right now if we'd--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: You'd be winning decisively.
DION ALMAER: I'm British, so you know, table football
is in my blood.
And thanks for hanging out, man.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Hey, Dion, thanks for hanging out
with me as well.
It was really fun to explore behind the scenes at Google I/O
2016 with you.
DION ALMAER: I hope the developers have a great time
this year.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: I think that they will.
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Google I/O.
SPEAKER 1: Today we are announcing the Google
Assistant.
SPEAKER 2: Google Home.
SPEAKER 3: Allo.
SPEAKER 4: Daydream.
SPEAKER 5: Android Wear 2.0.
SPEAKER 6: The next generation of Firebase.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: All right, so Chu Ki,
you were in the audience during the Google I/O 2016 keynote.
I have a few questions for you.
What are you most excited about that was announced today?
CHU KI CHAN: It was kind of towards the end
when they did the Android instant apps.
Meaning that, if you want to send somebody something that
is better in an app experience, but the person
doesn't have the app installed, he
doesn't have to suffer with just using the web interface.
He can want just the part of the app that he needs,
and no need to install anything.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: That's really cool.
CHU KI CHAN: That was amazing.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Yeah.
CHU KI CHAN: Yeah.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: And what is it that you're
most excited to work on as soon as you get back to your machine
at home?
YOHAN TOTTING: I think the first thing
that I want to-- I want to build with a lot of new cool things I
saw, like in Firebase.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Firebase.
YOHAN TOTTING: Because web developer and also
mobile developer, the biggest challenge for us
is actually talking to the backer.
Right?
If you focus on the web, you need
to learn also about how you can build the API.
But, using the Firebase, I think you
can forget to think about that.
You can just, using the API, throw the data
into the Firebase, and you can just
focus in your front [INAUDIBLE] app.
So.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Absolutely.
YOHAN TOTTING: Yeah, it's a good thing for us.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: What are some of the things at Google I/O
that you're the most excited about?
LON HYLAN-CHO: Oh, definitely the multi window support.
And N. Like, that's really exciting.
I think, especially when you're watching television,
because I write television-related apps.
Like, that's something that most people do while multi-tasking.
They don't just stare at the television, right?
They're doing other things.
So having the multi window support
so that you could have TV on one side of it,
and then like be checking your email
or whatever else on the other side without having
to leave the app.
That's really cool.
TAMARA WASHINGTON: Home.
To the person who's left her phone in her refrigerator
before, Home.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: In the fridge?
TAMARA WASHINGTON: I actually have--
TIMOTHY JORDAN: That's inventive.
TAMARA WASHINGTON: Well no, I've put it
down to get something out and closed
the door didn't realize it.
And, you know.
Cause you're always looking for your phone for either a recipe
or what time am I supposed to be here?
Or when am I supposed to be doing this?
If I can just yell out to something, that's fantastic.
Cause I'm always leaving my phone somewhere in the house.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: What are some of the other things at the keynote
that you're excited to play with soon?
TAMARA WASHINGTON: I'm in material design.
I went to some of the sessions they had on it.
It looked really interesting.
Because coming from a developer's background,
understanding what design terms and what design
is needed, those type of things.
So yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TIMOTHY JORDAN: We're here at the
After Hours at Google I/O 2016.
I'm here with Dion and Ben.
Hello, gentleman.
DION ALMAER: How's it going?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: It's going well.
How are you?
DION ALMAER: I went from going from on stage giving
a talk to having to just be up there
with this speechless improv comedy night.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: And how was that?
DION ALMAER: It was fantastic.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So one of my favorite things about Google,
and I think you gentlemen share this as well,
is that work and fun are not mutually exclusive.
And that comes out in I/O as well.
So we spent all day learning all these new technical concepts
and API's, and at night, let's have a little bit of fun.
DION ALMAER: Exactly.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: So shall we do that?
DION ALMAER: Let's do it.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: All right.
I think we should start with the underwater disco.
What do you think?
DION ALMAER: That sounds like a good idea.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Right this way.
DION ALMAER: Let's go then.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-By the way, do not play foosball
with any of [INAUDIBLE] They destroyed that tonight.
10-0.
It's like-- it was like that.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TIMOTHY JORDAN: And that's what it felt like to be here.
