On November 17, during the Chrome Dev Summit in Mountain View, UX-Republic and the GDG Paris (Google Developers Group) organized a meetup dedicated to the well-known Chrome browser.
Throwback to this event where many of you were present.
Live transcript of the Chrome Dev Summit
At 18 p.m. (9 a.m. San Francisco time) began the two days of meetings organized by Google around its Chrome browser. The opportunity to share upcoming news, lead workshops and discuss new technologies and APIs implemented by Chrome engineers.
We have therefore carefully followed this very interesting first part. It presented the issues, the vision, the objectives and the new markets supposed to be covered by these developments.
Chrome browser innovations should enable the developer to be at the heart of the development strategy for web and mobile services and UX.
User experience (UX), consideration of new emerging markets such as India, access to new features, and significant improvement in overall performance are all issues that Chrome must provide solutions to.
The developer thus becomes a real contributor to these questions.
Code Labs
Time for the second part of the meetup: each of the participants was invited to choose a codelab among the 3 proposed by the Google experts from GDG Paris.
To each codlab, its subject and its Google expert!
- Using the Bluetooth API in Chrome to control a PLAYBULB Candle or how JavaScript can also drive interactions in the real world.
- Develop a weather application working in offline mode with Polymer
The second codlab was dedicated to Polymer, the Google framework that allows you to cut a web application into components (html code, CSS style and Javascript code).
As part of this workshop, Polymer was used to create a weather application, and according to the studious look of our participants, concentration was required!
- Visualization of geographic data with Polymer and WebGL
Still using the Polymer framework but this time with the help of WebGL, our participants worked on the visualization of geographic data.
Networking: Pizzas and beers
After the effort….
Our participants deserved good pizzas and beers for the hard work they did! A very good time of sharing and meeting between enthusiasts :)
