Just got back from a whirlwind tour of Europe for the Google Developer Days! We hit Munich, Moscow, and Prague, and it was an amazing experience. I gave talks on Chrome Extensions and building great Web Apps (except in Munich, where a local engineer rocked it). The slides are online: Chrome Extensions (needs experimental mode in Chrome dev channel) and Web Apps. I'll post the code on GitHub soon. Met tons of enthusiastic developers working on incredible projects – everything from protein sequencers to automatic app builders. So much innovation happening! (Side note: bring business cards, folks!) Prague was a particular highlight. Check out some photos from my trip!

I had a great time speaking at the Berlin GTUG, despite the unexpectedly hot weather. I presented on Web Apps, highlighting the differences between native and web apps, key principles of good app design, and some of the exciting new possibilities with HTML5, CSS3, and WebSockets. I wish I'd had more time to delve into frameworks for building great apps and do some live coding. Chris Chabot also gave a fantastic talk about Buzz. The venue, BetaHaus, was excellent, and I was impressed by everyone's English fluency. Thanks to all who attended!
