Keynote and session videos from Google I/O now live

By Mike Winton, Director of Developer Relations

With Google I/O 2011 just two days behind us, we wanted to thank the nearly one million developers who joined us at Moscone Center, attended I/O Extended events, and watched online via I/O Live from 161 countries around the world. In addition to the announcements made at the keynote presentations, we had more than 30 announcements in our 110 sessions. HD recordings of all these sessions are now available online. Here are some of the announcements:

• New Eclipse tools for Android
• Text= Parameter for Google Web Fonts
• Opening Google Places API for all developers
• Update of Google Prediction API
• New charts and features from Google Chart Tools
• ChromeVox screen reader for Chrome and Chrome OS
• Google Plugin for Eclipse v2.4
• New additions to the Fusion Tables API
• Google Storage open for all
• Promoting and measuring your app with the Guide to the App Galaxy
• Go programming language coming to Google App Engine
• Google App Engine 1.5
• Launch of the Google Tasks API
• Google Books API now in Code Labs

Highlights from this year’s event are posted at www.google.com/io, where we are featuring photos, announcements, and the latest videos. Also, stay tuned for a feature on “Backstage at Google I/O” where we will highlight the developers and artists who helped to make the event possible this year.

Google I/O kicks off the year as our biggest developer event--but we’re only getting started. As of today, we are announcing locations for our eight Google Developer Days (GDDs), which will take place all over the world with more than a few DevFests in between. Stay tuned for more info on the 2011 event details, but we’ll look forward to seeing you in Brazil, Argentina, Prague, Moscow, Tokyo, Sydney, Israel and Germany for our Google Developer Team world tour.
