Google I/O '13 Hacker Notes
Google's I/O conference started yesterday. Here's some of my "notes for hackers"*:
Anyone can use Compute Engine - billed by the minute + PHP support
Google Cloud Datastore is a NoSQL db
There's a rad new Google Maps coming -- bring on the API mashupery!
Hangouts is the new cross-platform Google Talk and has created some controversy
Android Studio looks pretty rad, better than Xcode?
Send money from Gmail with Google Wallet
Android app translation can be automated
Android apps can be in beta (for testing) before production
There will be a new Galaxy S4 with Nexus OS released by Google
Dev tools are getting better and better (thanks Paul Irish)
They are fully on board with Web Components
asm.js (of Mozilla) will be a target of V8/Chrome \o/
Google Play Music All Access is a Spotify/Rdio competitor
Google+ got a visual overhaul and some cool new photo features
Larry Page's closing was enjoyably authentic and that of a true hacker
If you made it this far and are craving more, the Google Developers Google+ page is chock full of more resources and announcements (no, really, they've been super annoying with their updates lately).
Relevant gif for those who saw the Auto Awesome part of the keynote.
Whatchya think? What'd I miss?
