Google I/O Developer Conference – May 2008
Google I/O is a 2 day developer conference in San Francisco, Wednesday & Thursday, May 28 to 29, 2008.
This conference is geared toward developers wanting to develop applications that integrate with any of Google’s applications.
The latest buzz involves the public launch of several development tools to create any type of web application (not just for google) which is geared toward Web 2.0 Social Applications, such as Google App Engine which provides a full development environment to build, test and host new web applications for free. Registration is now open to the public.
Major programming languages supported are Java, AJAX, and PHP. Phython is also used within Shindig for their new Open Social project, which is standardizing widget or mini-application plug-in development for Social Applications (where you build once and can launch on various social websites without rebuilding 100% of the code each time for each website – build once, use on many websites).
