Expanding our developer video channel lineup

Posted by, Reto Meier

Starting today, the Android Developers, Chrome Developers, and Google Developers YouTube channels will host the videos that apply to each specific topic area. By subscribing to each channel, you will only be notified about content that matches your interests.

The Google Developers YouTube channel has been bringing you content across many platforms and product offerings to help inspire, inform, and delight you. Recently, we’ve been posting a variety of recurring shows that cover many broad topics across all of our developer offerings, such as Android Performance Patterns, Polycasts and Coffee With A Googler.

As we produce more and more videos, covering an ever increasing range of topics, we want to make it easier for you to find the information you need.

This means that for the Android Developers Channel, you will get content that is more focused to Android, such as Android Performance Patterns. Similarly, the Chrome Developers Channel will host more web focused content, such as Polycasts, HTTP203, Totally Tooling Tips, and New in Chrome. The Google Developers Channel will continue to broadcast broader Google Developer focused content like our DevBytes covering Google Play services releases and our Coffee With A Googler series.

We look forward to bringing you lots more video to inspire, inform, and delight -- to avoid missing any of it, you can subscribe to each of our YouTube channels using the following links, also be sure to turn notifications on in YouTube’s settings (more info here) so that you can get updates as we post new content:

Introducing the Senior Web Developer Nanodegree Program with Udacity

Posted by Sarah Clark, Program Manager, Google Developer Training

What do you need to stand out from the crowd of web developers, and ultimately, land that perfect job?

We asked ourselves that same question and decided to help by introducing the Senior Web Developer Nanodegree. Built in collaboration with Udacity, this online program is designed to teach you the tools, frameworks, and techniques needed to write robust code for progressive web applications that are secure and easy to use. Spending about 10 hours a week, most students can earn this Nanodegree credential in 9-12 months at a cost of $200 per month with 50% returned upon completion.

Along the way, you will also learn how to integrate new technologies, such as Service Worker and Web Components, and work extensively with Gulp and other tools. You’ll hear from Google experts, such as Ido Green, Jake Archibald (co-author of the Service Worker spec), Luke Wroblewski (author and strategist), Paul Bakaus (Studio 5 CTO, Zynga) and Alice Boxhall (author of the Chrome accessibility developer tools).

How can you get started? There are two different ways to participate. One option is the paid Nanodegree program, which includes code-level project reviews and feedback, coaching, support from a cohort of peers, building a portfolio of work, and career support services. The second option is entirely free and includes the same instructional courses, quizzes and projects individually, which you can take at your own pace.
