Get coding fast with Code School and the Google Drive API
Tuesday, February 18, 2014
By Greg Knoke, Developer Relations
Cross-posted on the
Google Apps Developer Blog
.
The most challenging part of learning anything new is often simply getting started. Unfortunately, when it comes to programming, the first few minutes (or more) are often occupied with cumbersome details such as setting up an environment, which results in very little time spent actually writing code. We were certain there must be a better way.
Code School
has been doing exciting things with learning to program online. This is why we decided to team up with them to create a way for developers to learn to use the Google Drive API, with
no setup required
. In the new Discover Drive course, you can learn at your own pace from your web browser. You’ll spend less time fussing with coding environments and more time writing code.
To find out what the course is all about,
go check it out at Code School
. Happy coding!

Make your website more accessible to more users with
Introduction to Web Accessibility
Tuesday, September 10, 2013
By Eve Andersson, Manager, Accessibility Engineering
You work hard to build clean, intuitive websites. Traffic is high and still climbing, and your website provides a great user experience for all your users, right? Now close your eyes. Is your website easily navigable? According to the World Health Organization, 285 million people are visually impaired. That’s more than the populations of
England
,
Germany
, and
Japan
combined!
As the web has continued to evolve, websites have become more interactive and complex, and this has led to a reduction in accessibility for some users. Fortunately, there are some simple techniques you can employ to make your websites more accessible to blind and low-vision users and increase your potential audience.
Introduction to Web Accessibility
is Google’s online course that helps you do just that.
You’ll learn to make easy accessibility updates, starting with your HTML structure, without breaking code or sacrificing a beautiful user experience. You’ll also learn tips and tricks to inspect the accessibility of your websites using Google Chrome extensions.
Introduction to Web Accessibility
runs with support from Google content experts from September 17th - 30th, and is recommended for developers with basic familiarity with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
There’s a lot to learn in the realm of web accessibility, and a lot of work to be done to ensure users aren’t excluded from being able to easily navigate the web. By introducing fundamental tips to improve web usage for users with visual impairments,
Introduction to Web Accessibility
is a starting point to learn how to build accessibility features into your code.
Registration
is now open, so sign up today and help push the web toward becoming truly universally accessible.

Fridaygram: startup moms, ape memories, persistent projects
Friday, July 19, 2013
By
+Scott Knaster
,
Google Developers Blog
Editor
Sometimes you have a baby and a startup at the same time. For times like those, Google’s
Campus Tel Aviv
recently held
Campus for Moms
, a startup course designed to be friendly to babies and moms taking care of them. The nine-week course included technical topics like the evolution of cloud computing, legal information, financial advice, and more. The classroom was filled with bean bags and mats so that moms and babies could hang out together during sessions.
Graduates finished up by presenting their ideas to potential investors and class leaders. And during the course of the nine-week class session, four participants announced new launches: their babies were born.
Human babies build memories as they learn and grow, but what about other primates? A recent study provides evidence that
chimps and orangutans can remember things
for longer and more precisely than previously thought. Researchers found that both species could instantly recall an event (finding a particular tool) that took place three years earlier. The animals could also distinguish events that took place two weeks prior. Could ape startups be next?
Finally – and we really do mean
finally
– the
pitch drop experiment
at
Trinity College Dublin
has come to a successful conclusion. After nearly 70 years of trying, the project now has video proof that tar pitch sometimes behaves like a liquid and, given enough time and the right conditions, will form drops that fall from the main body. The experiment started in 1944, and
now it’s done
. Hooray!
This weekend, why not start a multi-decade experiment of your own? Maybe we can even feature it on some future edition of
Fridaygram
, if it still exists when your own pitch-drop moment happens.
Improve your App Engine skills with Google Developers Academy
Thursday, February 28, 2013
By Wesley Chun, Developer Relations Team
Cross-posted with the
Google App Engine Blog
Are you developing on App Engine today or interested in learning how to use it? If you've gone through all the great
App Engine docs
and Getting Started tutorials (
Python
,
Java
, or
Go
) but want to take your App Engine skills a step further, then Google Developers Academy (GDA) is the place to go! We
launched GDA this past summer at Google I/O 2012
, with content for beginners as well as seasoned developers. What can you find on App Engine in GDA today?
If you’re interested in getting more background on what cloud computing is and where App Engine fits into that ecosystem, then this intro class (
Introduction to Google App Engine
) is for you. Once you’re done with this class, you’ll be ready to tackle the Getting Started tutorial, and after that, move on to the
App Engine 101 in Python
class.
While some of the material found in App Engine 101 is similar to what's in the Getting Started tutorial, the 101 class targets developers who skipped the tutorial or completed it at some point in the past but don't want to repeat the exact same thing. The main differences include the following changes to the tutorial's content:
Use of the Python NDB API
Jinja2 templates
Discussion of data consistency and datastore indexes
You can use the relational MySQL-compatible
Google Cloud SQL
service as an alternative to App Engine's native non-relational datastore. Some applications do require a relational database, especially if you’re porting an existing app that relies on one. In this case, you want to learn about Cloud SQL and how to use it with App Engine. That’s why we have the
Using Python App Engine with Google Cloud SQL
class.
Of course, Google is best known for search. With App Engine's powerful
Search API
, you can index not only plain text, but also HTML, atoms, numbers, dates, and locations (lat/long).
Getting Started with the Python Search API
is a two-part class that will indeed get you started: in the first part of the class, you’ll create an application using a variety of data and learn how to index such data (using "documents"). In Part 2, you’ll learn how to execute queries as well as how to update your indexes when you modify your data.
If variety is what you're after, then look no further than the newest class in GDA:
Getting Started with Go, App Engine and Google+ API
. You will not only learn how to create an App Engine app using the
Go programming language
, but also learn how to connect to the
Google+ API
with the
Google APIs Client Library for Go
.
These are just a few examples of the types of classes you'll find in GDA. We also have content that features many other Google technologies, including Android, Chrome, YouTube, Maps, Drive, and Wallet. We invite you to swing by for a visit soon.

Google launches new developer education programs
Thursday, June 28, 2012
By Wesley Chun, Developer Relations
We are very excited to welcome more than 5,000 developers to Google I/O this week. As we celebrate new product launches, and share knowledge during sessions, codelabs, Sandbox demos and office hours, we don't want to be limited to exchanging information with our developers only three days a year. In this spirit, we took the first step last week, launching
Google Developers Live
, a place for developers to connect face-to-face with Google engineers as well as each other in a live setting. However, real-time is not always the most convenient, so to address this, we’re announcing two more programs: Google Developers Academy and Google Developers University Consortium.
Google Developers Academy
is a new program that provides training materials on Google technologies. Developers will learn and solidify their skills on many of our developer tools and APIs. We've launched with courses covering a variety of services like Google App Engine, Google Drive, YouTube, and our many advertising APIs. This is just the start, as we'll add new lessons regularly.
Google Developers University Consortium
is a collaborative community of academics who use Google's tools and developer platforms for instruction and research. We are providing teachers and researchers with a platform to share their materials and communicate freely with other faculty worldwide. This is a great place for the academic community to make announcements about their work, highlight successes, publish research, exchange content, and share their enthusiasm and knowledge with each other.
By providing more learning tools and interaction platforms for the global community, we are building and enhancing the skill set of today's
and
tomorrow's Google developers and helping them build the next generation of awesome apps!
If you're attending Google I/O, please stop by our booth in the Google TV lounge right across from the GDG Tattoo table.
