It is that time of year again. Time to register for Google I/O 10. The early discounted registration is now open through April 16, 2010. The cost is:
- Early bird price (until 4/16) $400 USD
- List Price (starting 4/17) $500 USD
- Academia (Student, Faculty) $100 USD
The event is being held at the Moscone Center in San Fransisco (same as last year) on 19-20 May 2010.
If you are not familiar with what Google I/O 10 actually is, this is Google’s description:
Google I/O brings together thousands of developers for two days of deep technical content, focused on building the next generation of web, mobile, and enterprise applications with Google and open web technologies such as Android, Google Chrome, Google APIs, Google Web Toolkit, App Engine, and more.
I/O will feature over 80 sessions ranging from introductory talks to deep dives on the nuts and bolts of a particular technology or product. Fireside chats will also return this year, where you can ask questions to Google engineers in an informal, intimate setting.
One of those deep dives will be Google Wave. They have 60 of the 80 sessions listed and four of those 60 sessions involved Google Wave. Here are the sessions listed for Google Wave:
- Open source Google Wave: Building your own wave provider
Learn how to build your own wave service. Google is open sourcing the lion’s share of the code that went into creating Google Wave to help bootstrap a network of federated providers. This talk will discuss the state of the reference implementation: the software architecture, how you can plug it into your own use cases — and how you can contribute to the code and definition of the underlying specification.
- Google Wave API design principles + anatomy of a great extension
Google Wave is all about collaboration, and the most successful extensions are user-friendly and collaborative. Wave robots should be as intuitive to communicate with as a human, and play well with other robots; Wave gadgets should extend the metaphors of the textual collaboration into the visual. In this talk, we’ll discuss the design and privacy principles you should consider while building extensions, and show examples of extensions that demonstrate these principles.
- Making smart & scalable Wave robots
A smart robot must be able to store persistent data. Wave robots can store data in wave structures, like wavelets, datadocs, and annotations, instead of traditional data-stores. A scalable robot must perform operations with minimal bandwidth. Wave robots can optimize by selecting the appropriate amount of context, the optimal events, and narrow filters for events. In this talk, we’ll share best practices on data storage and scaling.
- Google Wave and the enterprise environment
Google Wave provides enterprises with an opportunity to streamline a variety of communications. One of the main ways this occurs is through building generalized and custom extensions. This session will cover some of the existing enterprise extensions that have been built as well as give a sneak peek as to what’s in progress. If you’re wondering how Wave can be used to help build your business, you’ll want to attend this session.
Two of these four sessions are of great interest to me. The “API Design Principles” because I think they need to spend some time talking about what is a great extension, how to make a great extension and how to make your extension interact with other extensions. This is a must. There are not a lot of extensions (none that I am aware of) that use info or enhance another extension.
Secondly, of course, I am very interested in the “Enterprise Environment” session. I am hoping that this will coincide and build upon the “Building Your own Provider” session and some kind of document application integration announcement that I am expecting for I/O 10.
I’m all registered and ready to go. Very excited for what will be an awesome event. Check out @googleio , on Twitter, for the latest updates on I/O. (official hashtag: #io2010)
