Io 2018
- 1. I/O 2018 What you may have missed!
- 2. What this is about You may have sat through the keynote or other sessions so this is more of a quick round-up of some of the big announcements from this I/O in some sections we’ll link to the session in question incase you’ve missed it
- 3. Keynotes
- 4. The Keynote Google Lens - AI driven camera app Google news reboot Google Duplex Android P - Gestures Google Assistant is getting smart displays Smart Compose
- 5. Dev Keynote Android has made a lot of developer facing improvements to build/packaging and emulation. Slices too Service Workers in all modern browsers! Linux Apps on Chrome OS Material design has had a refresh and there’s tooling to help with theming Sceneform is a Java SDK for ARCore
- 7. Web State of the Union Quickly becoming another keynote due to it’s importance. Service workers and the improvement PWA can make to business Desktop PWA announced on chrome OS. Windows and mac later this year This talk every year is the best developer summary with the dev keynote to give you and idea of what’s big in Google.
- 8. Dev Tools Local Overrides Network Search Command Palette to search through files in sources Async Await debugging Eager Evaluation Lighthouse 500,000 users and 2 million Pages 3.0 released Performance data now can include competitor evaluation thanks to a big query project Contrast ratio to help with accessibility
- 9. Angular > 1 million angular developers Schematics - code generation Component Design kit - helps companies build their own component library ng add - runs schematics after npm install Angular Elements - angular custom elements to web standard. You need an injector currently but that may change
- 10. Ivy Backwards-compatible new rendering pipeline for angular. Smaller, Faster and Simpler apps uses tree shaking to remove uneeded code. Smaller bundles and this is done through a new rendering pipeline. locality - this is an attempt to ensure components can only be built with local knowledge. self- contained but also has a goal for incrementality (yeah i dont think its a word either) this is the belief that build time should be linked to the size of the change youre making not the size of your app. Ivy does this by encapsulating child components no bleeding context into parents so they dont need rebuilt They got hello world down by 93% in size to 2.7kb. Insane. 45% reduction in load time
- 11. AR AR marks the next big shift in mobile computing AR can be useful (house remodelling) Opature in Belfast do this AR Core is googles platform for developing AR apps Allows for motion tracking, lighting estimation and environment understanding Already supported on 100 million Android DEvices
- 12. ARCore Updates Augmented Images - trigger experiences from 2d images like movie posters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDs9rd7yD0I Cloud Anchors- shared references between ar apps. Work on IOS with ARKit Scene Form - Java SDK intended for Android dev
- 13. Firebase Not a lot new. Cloud Functions - SDK update. Client side sdk for calling functions. Unit Testing functions as well. Ability to use tensorflow lite models so you can evaluate things on device without bundling the model with the binary Crashlytics integrations - slack Performance monitoring is out of beta into GA. New update shows issues more clearly. Testlab now supports IOS. Spotify replaced device intra with firebase. Videos and test assets
- 14. Android Things - Closed source :o Security updates for 3 years - Central automated process for updates - Kits start at £80 atm and you get the rainbow hat for that. Hopefully will follow up on this at the iot event. Hat includes lots of sensors and buttons and leds and a display
- 15. PWA They were EVERYWHERE!
