Google’s sending over 4 of their engineers all the way from Mountain View to impart tips and tricks and best practices to the newbies and experts alike. Now if there’s anything you shouldn’t miss and worth a vacation leave, this would be it.

Knowledge of these APIs is not required though useful; knowledge of related languages such as JS (OpenSocial), Python (App Engine) is preferred.
  • Depending on the experience of the audience with the APIs, the Google engineers could spend more time conducting tutorials and demos for newbies or coach experienced developers in best practices. Come ready to learn or share.
  • Limited-edition Google T-shirts and other free swag will be up for grabs, while stocks last..
