Enterprise Developer sessions at Google I O 2010
If you didnt attend Google I/O 2010 you can see the videos of every session on YouTube. All of the Enterprise sessions are now online. See the link at the bottom of this post. Over the next week every session from every track will be available. Check out the Google I/O site for a complete list of session abstracts and videos.
There was a big focus on developing software for businesses at Google I/O this year, centered around three themes: build and sell apps in the Marketplace, customize and extend Googles apps, and build your own apps for internal use. The news kicked off the day before Google I/O with the announcement of Gmail contextual gadgets and many enhancements for Google Apps Script, including JDBC support. Then during the keynote, we launched Google App Engine for Business and announced our collaboration with VMware, and continued with the announcement of Google Wave (Labs) availability in Google Apps and Exchange support in Android 2.2 (aka Froyo).
Altogether there were more than a dozen technical sessions focused on the enterprise and more than 20 Google Apps Marketplace vendors demoing in the Enterprise Developer Sandbox.
Here’s a recap of a few of the sessions below. You can find the videos and slides for these sessions on the linked session title:
- Scripting Google Apps for business process automation - Google’s Evin Levey showed off the latest developments from Google Apps Script, and explained how developers can use the tool to automate business processes.
- Reach new customers fast: Learn how to sell your cloud app on the Google Apps Marketplace - Google’s Scott McMullan was joined by Jay Simmons (Atlassian), Chuck Dietrich (SlideRocket) and Amit Kulkarni (Manymoon) to discuss best practices for launching an app in the Google Apps Marketplace. This session was followed by a technical overview of how developers integrate apps with the Marketplace.
- Building context-aware extensions for Gmail - Deep dive on Gmail contextual gadgets - Google recently launched Gmail contextual gadgets, allowing developers to intelligently surface their apps directly in the Gmail message UI based on the content of the message. In this session, Dan Holevoet of Google explained how to create and distribute these gadgets.
- Run corporate applications on Google App Engine? Yes we do. Google CIO Ben Fried and his team discussed how Google runs real-world business applications on App Engine, and gave practical advice on how enterprise IT developers can make App Engine work with firewalls, legacy systems and proprietary systems. We unveiled this video yesterday along with the rest of the App Engine videos, but are reiterating it here as this session is quite relevant to the enterprise.
- Making Freemium work - converting free users to paying customers - In this panel moderated by Google’s Don Dodge, venture capitalists Brad Feld, Dave McClure, Jeff Clavier, Matt Holleran and Joe Kraus discussed strategies for building free products that can be upgraded to paid versions.
We’re excited to see the great strides our enterprise developer community has made, and were looking forward to seeing even more innovation and progress at next year’s I/O. We hope to see you then!

Things to Know Before Hiring a Web Developer
A Web Developer essentially refers to a person who is responsible for building a website in such a fashion that visitors find it easy to navigate over the same. Though generally a web developer is confused with a web designer, there is quite a lot of difference between the two. Let us now have a look at some crucial points that you need to take into consideration before hiring a web developer as such.

Compatibility Between Your Website and The Web Developer
Many a times, we go ahead and settle down for one such web developer, who has had many successful professional and high scale associations in the past. What we fail to realize is that what has worked for the other companies and units, need not necessarily work for our firm as well. This is exactly why you need to have a close rendezvous with the web developers you have shortlisted and eventually match their drive with your and your firm’s expectations. Eventually, the web developer who hits most of the right chords can be got onboard. If this is done, there are high chances of more and more netizens being attracted to your website.
Look for Experience
Even though absolute attention is laid down on the above area, you need to keep all the elements well balanced, which is exactly why getting hold of a web developer with sufficient amount of experience becomes a must. With experience one tends to gain expertise and thus you as a company is sure to benefit in a massive way if you decide to join hands with an experienced and expert web developer. An experienced web developer is known to possess pockets full of ideas and innovations, which is sure to contribute majorly towards the end result, which is nothing, but your company’s website.
Take Baby Steps
Once you have hired a web developer, the very first smart move on your part would be to begin small. If you happen to hand over a major assignment to the web developer in question and in the end if their creation fails to make sense to you, it would not just put you in a jeopardy, but at the same time would mean waste of many vital resources. In order to avert occurrence of such a situation, what you can do is begin by assigning a small project to the web developer selected by you. If his or her work pleases you, can you go ahead and sign up full time with that particular person, if not then you can look for immediate replacements as well.
Select a Learner
As you all are very well aware, a certain pre acquired skill set is likely to turn obsolete in the near future mostly in the tech arena. Hence, if you have selected a rigid web developer who has his or her own constraints as far as opening up to new skill sets, programming languages and techniques is concerned, then your entire selection process is sure to go waste. In order to avoid disruptions of the above kind, you should go ahead right away and opt for one such web developer who is welcoming towards learning new programming languages, attending various popular web developing conferences and so on and so forth.
