I'd say there are way too many slides about I/O swag (!) in the I/O extended organizer guide. It gives a hopefully wrong impression that there was too much thought put into swag.

They're returning to the May dates rather than the end of June. Maybe this year we'll be privy to information about Google Nearby.

Be sure to click the equalizer control icon and run the webgl and web audio experiment. (might be chrome only)

sp332• 11 years ago

It ran in Firefox, and then froze my browser :(

Edit: Oh, working fine now. I should mention I'm running the Developer Edition (which used to be Aurora), two versions ahead of "current" Firefox. 37.0a2

nawitus2• 11 years ago

Doesn't seem to work in Firefox for me..

EDIT: The reason was that I had web components enabled.

Chrome Experiment Ahead

There a thread earlier today on HN where a bunch of people expressed their disappointment with the Chrome-ification of Google products. Seems sorta apropos to that thread.

Pretty nice - as a hardware synth guy, I have to say that the physical controls being offered here are quite inspiring. I only wish my Macbook had a touchscreen at this point ..

andymcsherry• 11 years ago

Also make sure to run experiment.consoleDance() in the console

I really like the transitions on this site. Material design is pretty awesome.

thrownaway24242• 11 years ago

They're super choppy for me. What's your secret?

thrownaway24242• 11 years ago

Maybe because (from about:gpu):

Accelerated 2d canvas is unstable in Linux at the moment Disabled Features: accelerated_2d_canvas

It works offline in Chrome - I think this might be Service Worker...

nawitus2• 11 years ago

Yup: https://twitter.com/ebidel/status/565251578647838722

ebidel• 11 years ago

Yep, service worker is amazingly powerful!

FWIW, Chrome has a bug where SW doesn't intercept URLs changed using history.pushState(). If you're using the web app in Chrome 40, turning off wifi and navigating the site will show "blank pages". However, refreshing the page you land on does will work as expected while offline.

Good news is that it has been fixed in Chrome 41...coming soon! https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=429972

jastanton• 11 years ago

Wow very beautiful job on the site. Very fun, yeah for Material Design :)

rodh257• 11 years ago

Are there usually any other tech events on during the week of IO? ie smaller conferences/meetups etc?

cpncrunch2• 11 years ago

Yes - https://events.google.com/io2015/offsite (scroll down). Currently it says "We're compiling a map of I/O Extended events in your area. Check back to find one close to you."

sahat• 11 years ago

It's nice to see Google using Polymer.js on their pages.

reasonish• 11 years ago

Browser froze choppy horrible (Latest Chrome).

As computers get faster, our ability to program them in less efficient ways increases.

strange_quark• 11 years ago

Even scrolling seems sort of "off" and choppy, at least on Safari (both OS X and iOS). It looks pretty I guess, but how the hell did they manage to mess up scrolling?

ntakasaki• 11 years ago

The page is completely blank with the latest Opera on Windows. It uses webkit so that's a little surprising.

magicalist• 11 years ago

Are you sure you don't have JS off or something? Looks fine to me in Opera.

ndesaulniers• 11 years ago

I thought Opera was now built on Blink. Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, since Blink has webkit in it's ancestry, but being a fork, is starting to diverge.

elchief• 11 years ago

Build amazing tools that we'll cancel in a year!

Becoming too cynical - help me.

freyr• 11 years ago

You can't be blamed, they included an image of Google Glass right there on the page. Really, Google?

pearjuice• 11 years ago

Google Glass is still internally under development. The public release candidate test has simply stopped. Maybe by May they have a new demo.

xixixao• 11 years ago

The site works! in IE9 mobile (WP internal browser), that's a pretty good job .) As choppy on my MBPR as any other full-screen image website.

fiatjaf• 11 years ago

In the past, Google I/O was home of big announcements of disruptive technologies.

josteink• 11 years ago

This year it will be big announcements of Chrome-only technologies. </sarcasm>

271828182843• 11 years ago

The last couple Google I/O events have been disappointing because it takes an above-average amount of effort to get any of the neat things shown off (even six months or a year later). The most common example probably being that I don't know a single person running Android L. (Past examples might include Google Glass, and their Flagship phone, which someone I personally know was just recently able to order despite wanting to buy it since its announcement) Even taking into account that it was released after the announcement (November 2014, right?) It still seems awkwardly long. This isn't anecdotal either as can be seen in their dashboard: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

tdkl• 11 years ago

Google recently ships tech-demos, not products and I/O is one event where the hype starts.

271828182843• 11 years ago

It is hard even if you're a developer. I wanted to write Google Glass apps. No dice.

pjmlp• 11 years ago

Yes, I was always looking for something like ART to be presented, given the sore state of Dalvik, and still cannot use it.

Also I don't have any hope for them to say anything about Java 8, treating NDK users (like myself) as first class citizens or any other alternative language. Specially given their attitude at Android Developers Fireside last year.

So iOS has Objective-C, C, C++, Swift, Objective-C++, JavaScript with access to the whole platform. IDE supports all languages.

WP gives me Javascript, C++, C++/CX, C#, VB.NET, F# with access to the whole platform. IDE supports all languages.

With Android, Java 6, partial Java 7, limited C and C++ with exposure to some Android and POSIX APIs. Studio only supports Java, even Eclipse NDK is kind of broken.

No support for Renderscript or GL shaders.

cpncrunch2• 11 years ago

I'm wondering if it's worthwhile going to Google I/O. I haven't been to it before, but I'm thinking it might be useful for networking (in the social meaning of that word).

I'm just not sure if the $3000 or so (after paying for flights and hotel) is really worth it. Perhaps going to a local I/O event might be better?

sidcool• 11 years ago

The website is brilliantly created to embody Material Design.
