Google I/O: Advancing the web as a platform

Posted by Tom Stocky, Senior Product Manager, Developer Products

We spend a lot of time, especially within our Developer Products team, talking about how to build applications for the web. After all, Google was born on the web, and over time we've gained tons of experience with AJAX and other technologies to build apps like Gmail, Google Maps, Google Calendar and Google Docs.

Along the way, we've seen the power of collaborative web apps and become very familiar with the pain points of building them. To share that knowledge, we just announced Google I/O -- a two-day developer gathering to be held May 28-29 in San Francisco. We want to move the web forward as a platform, and continue to invest in projects like Google Gears, OpenSocial, and the Google Web Toolkit to further that effort.

If you're a developer, we hope you're interested in learning more about Google APIs and joining this conversation about moving the web forward. For details and registration, please visit the Google I/O site.
