I/O 14 is Live

Sundar just stepped on stage, to welcome a room full of 6,000 developers in Moscone. If you're joining on the livestream, welcome! We're broadcasting live to developers around the world through an expanded set of I/O Extended sessions: over 400 events in 85+ countries on 6 continents. A special hello to you, if you're joining us from London to Lagos and anywhere in between! In Moscone, it's great to see that we have over 20% female attedance -- over 1,000 women in the room with us today. That's up from 8% last year. We still have a long way to go, but it's more than double last year and it's exciting to see this progress! #io14

Google I/O Extended 2014 CodeLabs #io14  

At Google I/O 2014, we've got some exciting hands-on coding experiences in store for both in-person and remote attendees.

We've created a designated Code Lab space that will be open all Sandbox hours (11:30am to 5pm on Wednesday, and 9am to 5pm on Thursday). Swing by, pull up a stool, select a self-paced module for mobile, cloud or web, and code away.

We'll also have "Startup sessions" on Android Studio, Cloud, Nest, and Polymer that will walk you through how to create a coding environment on your own devices. Note - space is limited, so be sure to check out the schedule (filter by Code Labs!) to find out when the desired sessions will be happening.

Finally, for the first time we'll be offering a "virtual" codelab experience for I/O Extended participants. Visit http://io2014codelabs.appspot.com/ after the keynote to find all of the materials you need to host your own sessions.

In San Francisco for #io14 ? Lines for registration are short and we're open through 8 p.m. tonight. Get your badge while the getting is good.

Google I/O is less than 24 Hours away and we hope you’ve enjoyed the snippets of video content we’ve been posting to g.co/io14videos. We’ve been working hard to help developers like you experience Google I/O anytime, from anywhere, so expect a total of over 100 I/O Bytes to populate that page immediately after the Keynote Speech ends at 11am PST tomorrow.

Today’s IO Byte is: Creating a Style Guide...for everything!
#iobytes   #io14  

As YouTube approaches its 9th birthday, we finally created a comprehensive styleguide. What took us so long? Join +Michael Austin Sui and +Josh Sassoon as they talk about what it actually takes to define a brand book and style guide for a product that is defined by the entire world of content and arguably one of the most complex user-interface problems out there. As YouTube is finally coming into its own as a streamlined user experience, it's expressing its own unique brand voice while still managing to be a service for anyone, anywhere.
