Google Chrome Developer Update - Google I/O recap, new APIs

Monday, June 7, 2010

Google I/O recap
If you missed the Day 1 keynote this year, it was all about the open web. There were some amazing demos from Mugtug, TweetDeck, Adobe, and Sports Illustrated demonstrating the full potential of HTML5. There was a preview of WebM/VP8, a high-quality, open, and web-optimized video format. We saw the announcement of the Chrome Web Store, which later this year will provide a new and exciting channel for developers to distribute their web apps and reach new users. We also launched the Google Font API, which allows you to add high-quality web fonts to any web page. Lastly, there were all of the great Chrome sessions. Videos have been posted on the Google I/O website:

Developing with HTML5
Developing web apps for the Chrome Web Store
Beyond JavaScript: programming the web with native code
Chrome extensions - how-to
Google Chrome's Developer Tools
Using Google Chrome Frame
HTML5 status update
WebM Open Video Playback in HTML5

What's new for developers in Google Chrome?
The Google Chrome Dev channel is now up to 6.0.422.0. It includes a bunch of new features to think about when developing your apps:

Desktop notifications (new since our last developer update)
File API and FileReader API: Drag and drop files from the desktop to the browser!
Native Client (NaCl) SDK and ports: Run with --enable-nacl.
HTML5 sandbox attribute
Integrated Flash Player plugin: Run dev channel with --enable-internal-flash.

In addition to the above, there are new experimental extension APIs:

chrome.experimental.cookies
chrome.experimental.clipboard
chrome.experimental.omnibox

You can try out these features by launching a Dev-channel version of Google Chrome with the --enable-experimental-extension-apis flag and adding the ‘experimental’ permission in your manifest.json file. Please keep in mind that these features are still under development and are not 100% stable yet.
Upcoming developer events
For those of you based in New York, there’s an upcoming Chrome Extensions hackathon in our local office on June 10, 2010. We also have a five day DevFest starting June 28, 2010 in Sydney, Australia. Google Chrome will be featured on Wednesday, June 30. Stay tuned for more details!
