[This spring, a Android Developer Relations group (where we work, too) went upon a road round a universe with boxes of phones, their laptops prominent with slide-ware. Here weve combined write-ups from Billy Rutledge (who leads a Android evangelism group during Google HQ) as great as Reto Meier, who has a table in London as great as wrote a book upon Android. Featuring Europe is a little unfair, there have been a ton of stories from Asia as great as North America too, but we wanted to keep this reasonably short. - Tim Bray]
Introduction
Billy: The Android Developer Lab (ADL) events have been sponsored by Google to assistance drive developer seductiveness in a Android height as great as increase a quality, as great as apportion of creative, innovative applications in Android Market. This Android Developer Relations debate covered 18 locations around a world; we met with over five thousand enthusiastic Android developers as great as were anxious to see a energy as great as creativity during a back of your applications.
Reto: The European leg of a Android Developer Lab World Tour consisted of me, Billy, as great as intrepid internal volunteers covering 8 labs in eleven days opposite six countries.
Some of a venues weren't like a little of a others.
The thought of a debate was to encounter as great as support internal Android communities around a world, get developers vehement about Android, as great as enthuse them to emanate a next era of innovative mobile applications.
Billy: In these sessions, we tried to assistance new as great as gifted developers pierce forward with their duplicate plans. The core topics included:
Status of a Mobile Web
Android Opportunity for Developers
Android Market Overview
Android SDK Key Features
Code Labs ranging from HelloWorld to Threads to LiveWallpaper
Reto: The odyssey began in a London Google office, 3 labs over two days which played host to scarcely 200 developers. Our surprise gifts arrived mins after our initial event proposed - a tighten enough call which our theres a package we need to pointer for - any thought what it is? charade was unscripted as great as usually partially contrived. The heart palpitations were entirely real. London is home to a little great Android developers together with a teams during a back of ADC2 winners PlinkArt as great as BuzzDeck.
After London we battled ice as great as snow in Stockholm, where Anders Bond told us because Android is a great match for Spotify, as great as enjoyed a receptive to advice of 100 Swedes spontaneously erupting in applause.
In Paris 200 gifted community members joined us for two events during La Cantine. Speakers from FRAndroid, Sfeif, as great as Diotasoft covered everything from OpenGL growth regulating a SDK to regulating AppEngine to emanate scalablends for your Android apps.
The Berlin event was huge, with over 150 developers travelling in from all opposite Germany. We saw demos together with multi-touch pong, a Live Wallpaper of a changing Berlin skyline, as great as an app which showed us where to find (and rate!) a nearest open toilets. The night finished (in a tiny hours) with a private debate of c-base, an experience not to be missed.
Universidad Rey Juan Carlos done us feel very acquire in Madrid. Over 200 developers from opposite Spain (and Portugal) were in attendance together with some-more winners of ADC1 (Biowallet) as great as ADC2 (SweetDreams).
Lessons Learned
Billy: Developers have grown to a indicate where they don't need to be convinced, they hunger for some-more technical details. While a intro turn topics were great received, most developers have modernized beyond this indicate as great as seek guidance upon some-more in-depth topics.
Reto:
Its probable for one chairman to lift up to four boxes each containing ten Nexus Ones during a time.
You should not try to lift some-more than 3 boxes of Nexus Ones if a conditions have been icy. Right Billy?
Billy: Absolutely!!! :)
Announcing free smartphones to a room of developers regularly formula in a spontaneous round of applause.
European mobile developers have been smart, enthusiastic, as great as already office building a next era of epic apps for Android.
Billy: Post event series, we opened a proffer consult to assistance us beam destiny efforts:
78% of developers rated a event 4+ stars (of 5 stars)
79% of developers say carrying Google engineers upon palm is "extremely important"
69% of developers say it is "extremely important" to see some-more test inclination during destiny events
Looking Forward
[These have been still during a formulation stage, zero here is a promise. - Tim]
Billy: The Android Developer Relations group skeleton to lead destiny Android Developer Lab events in 2010, office building upon a feedback from a Feb events. These destiny events will focus upon deeper technical subjects, awaiting a attendees to have a basic bargain of a Android platform. We will post a beginner material on-line as a prerequisite.
While it's impossible for us to reach all locations, we'll look to cover a key locations where Android inclination have been available.
Reto: we hadnt even done it back to London when a requests proposed to hurl in. Given a success of this debate we dont imagine it will be as great long.
Its regularly a great experience meeting a Android developer community, we look forward to saying we again soon!
