Google Developer Day 2011 Berlin

I've been to the Google Developer Day 2011 Berlin ... together with more than 2000 other people.

Right before the keynote ...

It's been a "Google brainwash", but nevertheless very cool ... at least because of the free drinks and food ;-). Maybe you find some video of the different talks around somewhere - here are the talks, I can recommend:

• The keynote starring two human beat-boxes (really cool!): A nice wrap-up of what Google has achieved so far and what they are planning.
• Google App Engine Overview & Update: As I've never got in touch with that, it's been a nice introduction for me.
• Bleeding Edge HTML5: Lots of slides and live demos to understand why HTML5 is one of the current buzzwords.
• V8 Performance Tuning Tricks: Some details on JavaScript performance optimization and why it can be very hard to do.
• HTML5, Flash and the Battle for Faster YouTube Cat Videos: Two funny guys talking about the advantages and disadvantages of HTML5 video compared to Flash and the future plans for HTML5 video.
