YouTube >> The Go Programming Language
Jan 2nd
A video that I need to watch myself (I just managed to watch 25% of it), but I thought was good to post it here: just to remind how good it is to think “out of the box”. Even in Programming Languages.
Presenter: Rob Pike
Presented on: 30th Oct 2009
Go is a new experimental systems programming language intended to make software development fast. Our goal is that a major Google binary should be buildable in a few seconds on a single machine. The language is concurrent, garbage-collected, and requires explicit declaration of dependencies. Simple syntax and a clean type system support a number of programming styles.

At the Google I/O 2009
May 28th
Just a quick one.
First day of the Google I/O 2009 in San Francisco (CA).
Apart from a lot of informative and interesting topics and breakout sessions (I mainly focused on App Engine and Android), I came back at home full of:
- Stickers
- T-shirt
- Google Chrome comic paperback version
- A brand new “Google I/O device”, that is a black HTC Magic sim and firmware unlocked for developers + Android Market with Paid Apps support + Amazon Mp3 store +…!!!. How much? For FREE, of course!!!
Thanks Google for all the amazing stuff, presentation, technologies, gifts… and food! 
Android Dev Phone 1: Official Updates
Apr 5th
For the once of you that tried “home made ways” to update their ADP1, like my previously published how-to, this news can be interesting.
Google and HTC finally managed to push-out an official page on the HTC site, to explain step-by-step how to update firmware and baseband of the device.
I just did it, having a very pleasant and straightforward experience.
The phone seems to be way more stable, bug-free and the battery lasts for more then 50 seconds
Enjoy!
Chrome Experiments
Mar 21st
WOW!
I mean… WOW!
Look at what people are doing using the power of HTML5 + a very fast Javascript Engine!
Those experiments are collected here: Chrome Experiments (note the subtitle: “Not your mother’s JavaScript” – LOL).
Bear in mind: this is not only because of Chrome itself. This is the power of HTML5 Canvas element, plus, of couse, the very (very) fast V8 Javascript engine). And indeed, I ran them on my Safari 4 beta without a glitch: the Javascript engine, SquirrelFish Extreme (SFX) is pretty good too.
I knew HTML5 is gonna be BIG, but I never thought “that BIG”. Not in terms of “it’s not doable” but in terms of “who can be that mad to do it!!!” 
Evidently, there are a lot of “maddos” out there

Android Dev Phone 1: to GIT Master and Back
Mar 8th
If you, like me, have a Android Dev Phone 1 (“ADP1″ from now on), you are probably wondering how to take the latest version of the Android Source Code, the “GIT Master”, compile and put on your device.
I googled and googled and googled, finding some sparse material. But it’s all messed up: sometimes it was incomplete or partial, sometimes it was a matter of formatting/style, it could get very difficult to read. So, this post is my way of making it organic and organized.
Let’s get it started!
