Googlites (it’s a term…) the time to scribble or type furiously into your day planners for the 10th and 11th of May is today because the schedule for Google I/O sessions are available. Also the Google I/O Bootcamp schedule for the 9th of May is also up. For in-depth information be sure to check out the sessions web-page.
The Bootcamp will include a beginners session, Google App Engine workshop and an introduction to Honeycomb among other things. It’s sure to be great for anyone looking to get a bit of help joining the android game.
The main two-day session can guarantee to always have something going on to keep you interested. From ‘Android + App Engine: A developers Dream Combination’ to ‘Bringing C and C++’ it is sure to be an interesting two days. Specific tracks will include Android, App Engine, Chrome, Commerce, Dev Tools, Geo, Google API’s, Google Apps and Tech Talks.
Two special sessions to be hosted at the end of day one will also be run. Heres the description from the Google Code Blog:
Ignite. Fast-paced, fun, and thought-provoking, Ignite captures the best of geek culture in a series of five-minute speed presentations. It’s a high-energy session of short talks by people who have an idea–and the guts to get onstage and share it. This year we will learn about the Brain API, the similarities of Disneyland and Burning Man, and a dissection of the Tiger Mom myth.
Google Ventures Meetup. Google Ventures will be holding an experiment in controlled chaos. This event will bring attendees together with members of the Google Ventures core team (investors and experienced startup veterans), and select portfolio companies ranging from small, new teams to later-stage, successful companies. The room will be arranged to enable attendees to speak to panels of “experts” in bite-sized, three-minute 1:1 conversations, otherwise known as VC speed dating. Our goal is to connect both practicing and soon-to-be entrepreneurs with experts who can impart advice, lessons learned, and quick tips.
Finally if all that was not enough for you the blog has also posted the office hours for Google I/O office hours were Google Engineers will be on hand to answer your queries on products and technologies at the conference.
