∞ Google I/O Thoughts from an iOS Developer

Published under Mango Paper, Jun 30, 2014

This year was the first time I’ve attended the Google I/O conference, and it was a fascinating experience. As someone who is primarily an iOS developer and has been to WWDC before a lot of things about the way Google ran their conference fascinated me. I thought it might be interesting to briefly share some of those.

A great read. And this shocks me a little bit:

Perhaps it’s just the ones I’ve met at Apple, but I’ve never had this experience before. Our developer rep (from Apple) is a nice guy, but he’s not the least bit technical, and in general I could only talk to him when he contacts me. I say ‘could’ because ever since we’ve had success on the Android platform he’s made it very clear that his services are no longer available to us. Perhaps that makes me bitter and jaded about the Developer Rep experience at Apple, but if you ask me it’s justified.

Well, maybe not.
