Events Update: Google Developer Day, India
Google has announced the Google Developer Day in to be held in Bangalore on 18-October-2008. The event is free to attend by anyone and is intended for software developers and students. The event will focus on Google API in specific and web applications in general.
Prasad Ram, head of engineering and R&D at Google India said,
“It’s an incredibly exciting time to be a web developer, with so many powerful APIs, open distribution platforms, and development tools becoming available for easy and often free consumption. As a community, developers are shaping the future of the web, putting foundations in place now that future generations of users won’t be able to imagine living without. Google’s developer events are a place for developers to celebrate this moment, collaborate with each other, and learn about faster and better paths to successful web applications and a better web.”
Google engineers will give live demonstration of many technologies developed at Google. The session will include hands on practical as well as theoretical sessions in web applications by Google engineers.
Involving budding enthusiasts and engineering students with a company’s development platform is a good thing. The strategy has been successfully been used by Microsoft in the past, who has been constantly organizing events like this to lend support to the developer community focused on its platform.
The web though is much more open. And we do have a large influx of enthusiasts / students who want to do some interesting web application programming, rather than the plain C/C++ code-writing, most of the engineering colleges force them to do.
I strongly suggest any developer in Bangalore to attend the meet. We would me more than happy if you would like to share your experience with us.
