Secure, intelligent, and responsive IoT data pipelines with Google Cloud IoT Core

Managing embedded devices securely at scale has never been more important. Using Cloud IoT Core, developers are able to connect, two-way communicate, and deploy embedded devices at scale.

Cloud IoT Core is a fully managed service that allows you to easily and securely connect, manage, and ingest data from all of your embedded devices enabling you to make informed decisions at global scale.

In this session we will explore the fundamentals needed for deploying devices with Cloud IoT Core, including solution based design, handling telemetry via MQTT, some resources to get you started, and more!

How to grow a thriving community (even in ‘flyover country’)

The Kansas City Google Developer Group runs an annual developer conference that has doubled in size each year, fostering inclusivity and participants from far west as California and far east as the Ukraine. Learn how they’ve done it and gain tips for proactively engaging user group communities – without waiting for them to come to you.

In this session I share what helped me to build & grow the Kansas City Google Developer Group community from the struggles of being in ‘flyover country’ to the ideals gleaned from Star Trek captains.

Serverless Applications with Firebase

Have you ever started building an application and quickly realized that a lot of back-end work is needed? Firebase is a platform that helps you quickly develop real-time apps, grow your user base, and earn more money. Firebase is made up of complementary features that you can mix-and-match to fit your needs without needing to know anything about servers! In this session, you’ll see how using Firebase can help you quickly build out a real-time database with an authentication system that perfectly blends into a web application. With Firebase, we can build a complete application in half the time without any server side code involved.

Firebase is many things and this talk will explore the tools available that it provides. I will cover a quick intro of all tools available, deeper dive into the Firebase real-time database & authentication setup, and finish up with a quick multiplayer quiz (built on Firebase).

What are Progressive Web Apps and How do they work?

The web is advancing at an alarming rate and browsers are providing new features giving web developers the ability to features to engage with mobile users. Using PWAs, web developers can provide “app like” experiences for their web apps without the need for a native (or hybrid) app.

As developers, we want to create apps that engage users across multiple devices. But building native apps is costly and cumbersome. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are experiences that combine the best of the web and the best of mobile apps using new web standards, including service workers, push notifications, and homescreen access.

In this session, you’ll learn the the fundamentals needed for building Progressive Web Apps, including the app shell model, how to use service workers to cache the App Shell and your key application data and more!

Supercharging your applications with Cloud Functions

Cloud Functions for Firebase empowers web, mobile, and IoT developers to build simple, yet powerful backend features to their applications. I will be covering a quick intro into the what & why of Cloud Functions and finish up with some typical use-cases & examples of Cloud Functions for Firebase.

Have you ever started building an application and quickly realized that a lot of back-end work is needed? Cloud Functions is a serverless execution environment for building and connecting cloud services. With Cloud Functions you write simple, single-purpose functions that are attached to events emitted from your cloud infrastructure and services. There is no need to provision any infrastructure or worry about managing any servers.

In this session, you’ll see how using Cloud Functions for Firebase can help you quickly build out task heavy features for your web/mobile/IoT application as well as easily integrate with 3rd-party tools & services.

Actions on Google: Are you prepared for the next type of search?

Voice is quickly becoming the new standard for search and most businesses are not ready for it. Using Actions on Google, developers are able to design, build, and distribute fully-customizable conversational applications.

Actions on Google is a developer platform that lets you create software to extend the functionality of the Google Assistant, Google’s virtual personal assistant, across more than 500 million devices, including smart speakers, phones, cars, TVs, headphones, watches, and much more.

In this session, you’ll learn the fundamentals needed for building Actions on Google, including Voice UI (VUI) & conversational design, what tools are available, some resources to get you started, and more!
