Sessions I attend

The following three are from the Bootcamp which is one day before the io. I was fast enough to register for the event, that I can enter. This was like a warm up for the actual thing.(Bootcamp Schedule — https://sites.google.com/site/iobootcamp/schedule)

• Introduction to Google App Engine

• Mapping in 3D: Tips and tricks for Google Earth API and KML

• The Big Picture and How to Get Started

–

And these are from the session in io:

• Ignite Google I/O (http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/ignite-google-io.html) — the ones I like the most are,

• • Matt Harding (Where The Hell Is Matt?
  • Bradley Vickers – How to Row across the North Atlantic, Ration Food and Not Have Your Teammates Eat You

• Casting a wide net: how to target all Android devices (http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/casting-wide-net-android-devices.html) — way to technical for me, I am not an Android developer (yet). Also next room, there was another session of Paul Graham, it was full next time pg

• Architecting GWT applications for production at Google (http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/architecting-production-gwt.html) — Presentation smells like enterprise which I am far from interested. Also, I am not sure about all these code generation stuff for DTOs (Spring Roo), also Vmware&spring is not my favorite source of inspiration (although I play with Grails lately)

• HTML5 status update (http://code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/html5-status-chrome.html) — Last session of the i/o 2010. Two product managers of Chrome made a good summary of HTML 5 features and their perspective on the spec.

Keynotes that I can not attend since I was sleeping at that time

• Day 1 — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a46hJYtsP-8&feature=player_embedded#!

• Day 2 — they haven’t put a full version yet…

Day One After Party
This was a real nerdvana. a 8 leg giant spider that you can literally drive, pac man, food (like a lot), beer (free as in a lot free), huge screens with geeky videos, a toy like thing that you can control it with your mind and try to fly a ball by focusing sth sexy!, robots that play football, Tesla (sexy electric car), beer, remote control robot that try to demolish balloon with its tail, red wine…

Toys, Food, Drinks, T-shirts

Nexus One, HTC EVO, t-shirts, lots of Pepsi, Starbucks Coffee

A simple process as it should be but still worth documenting,

• Register an Standard Google Apps account (so far this version is enough for our needs)
• Open eapps control panel and go to system tab

• Scroll down to All My Domains and select it
• Here you will see the domains that you added, select the one that you want to add mail functionality.

• Delete the existing MX records
• Add the ones Google Apps ask as the following (leave the first field empty!)

And of course give some time for the propagation of the new MX records to all caches on planet earth!

The chart will show the remaining number of months in the current year.

• First download the jar from the project home page http://code.google.com/p/gchart/
• Put it under war/WEB-INF/lib and add the gchart.jar to your classpath
• Create a  Web Application project called it GChart-samples (I assume you have Google Eclipse Plugin and follow the basic steps from here)
• This step is for make-up, find GChart_samples.html under war/WEB-INF and clear the part between <body> tags.
• Open GChart_samples.gwt.xml and add the following line

  <inherits name='com.googlecode.gchart.GChart'/>

• Create a class in client folder called FirstChart and change it as the following

  package com.dogan.kaya.client;
  
  import com.googlecode.gchart.client.GChart;
  
  public class FirstChart extends GChart
  {
  	public FirstChart()
  	{
  		setChartSize(350, 350);
  
  		addCurve();
  
  		int[] data = { 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };
  		for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
  		{
  			getCurve().addPoint(i + 1, data[i]);
  		}
  		//curve customization
  		getCurve().getSymbol().setHeight(10);
  		getCurve().getSymbol().setWidth(10);
  		getCurve().getSymbol().setBorderColor("black");
  		getCurve().getSymbol().setBorderWidth(3);
  		getCurve().getSymbol().setSymbolType(SymbolType.LINE);
  		getCurve().getSymbol().setFillThickness(2);
  		getCurve().getSymbol().setFillSpacing(0);
  		//chart customization
  		getXAxis().setAxisMin(1);
  		getXAxis().setAxisMax(12);
  		getXAxis().setTickCount(12);
  		getXAxis().setHasGridlines(false);
  		getXAxis().setTickLocation(TickLocation.CENTERED);
  		getXAxis().setTickLabelFontSize(10);
  		getYAxis().setAxisMin(0);
  		getYAxis().setAxisMax(12);
  		//to get inteter values on y axis, be careful
  		//about the number of intervals it can be tricky
  		getYAxis().setTickCount(13);
  		getYAxis().setTicksPerLabel(2);
  		getYAxis().setHasGridlines(false);
  		getYAxis().setTickLabelFontSize(10);
  		//
  		update();
  	}
  }

• Open GChart_samples class and change it like the following

  package com.dogan.kaya.client;
  
  import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
  import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.RootPanel;
  
  public class GChart_samples implements EntryPoint
  {
  	public void onModuleLoad()
  	{
  		RootPanel.get().add(new FirstChart());
  	}
  }

• My output is sth like that

ps:

some nice links about gchart are as follows:
