Well, after my little job quitting post (don’t worry, I’m not sad at all, I’m super happy about it!), I thought that I should share with you where I spent the day yesterday.

MrCMC (a teacher/friend of ours) told us before Spring Break about the Google Developer Fest 2010, it is a series of conferences about Google’s new technologies and you know, cool Google Stuff in general. As you know, i’m a HUUUGE Google fan, in fact, my dream job is to work at Google.

So Alekz and I moved some stuff around and we managed to get Tuesday morning free to go there. We got our invites and yesterday morning we left.

Let me tell you… Google never disappoints.

Registration and lobby

The lobby was full of puffs, chairs, and tables for you to hang around and there was free WiFi in case you wanted to do some live streaming or just tweet constantly (which is what I did). Everything was black or white with Google’s colours. It was really cool and there were loads of coffe, drinks and tasty treats to indulge ourselves.

Upon registration, you were given your conference kit. It included:

A DevFest T-shirt

Google México notepad

A Google ball point pen

Once we got our conference kits, we went to get comething to eat. I had a cup of coffee because I was so sleepy and we had cookies.

They were delicious!

While we were waiting for the keynote to start, Mido and I were standinge near a Google sign because I wanted to take a picture of her. A photographer came by and asked if he could take our picture, we said yes and started posting and just before he was going to take the picture, Alekz and Mario came by and posed with us XDD. It was so funny, then I asked him to take a picture of the 4 of us with my camera. He was really nice and took our picture n_n.

YAY!

We didn’t stay the whole day, we just made it to 3-4 conferences (we split and Mido ended up going to one extra conference) but it was so awesome. During the keynote we met all of the conferencists and what they were talking about. The Google Mexico director was there and we saw loads of demos about Android, Google Engine App, Google Webkit Apps, Google Wave, Google Maps and Earth, Google Chrome, HTML 5, CSS3 and loads of other things. The speakers talked mostly in English and it was just awesome! I really enjoyed the keynote. It was so much fun lo listen to everyone speak and show demos.

After the keynote, we had a bit of a resting period and while Mido and Mario went to the Google Geographic stuff, Alekz and I went to the Cloud Computing conference. It was good, they talked about the Google App Engine and how you can make really powerful applications using Google’s infraestructure, they also talked about merchandising your app. It was very cool, it would’ve been cooler if the wireless connection didn’t fail big time.

After that, we went to look for Mido but we couldn’t find her, so Alekz and I went to get our lunchbox (courtesy of Google) and then we found Mido. This is what was inside my luchbox:

It was junk food, but it was good. Unfortunately, my wisdom tooth started hurting and I couldn’t finidh my baguette T_T. We ate and we were planning to leave, but Mido saw that the parking fee went flat after 5 hours so we decided to stay and go to the Android conference. It was really interesting, but I was tired and very sleepy so I fell asleep during the last few minutes. After that conference we left and I took mido with me to school, then I hung out there a little bit and went home.

Google, I love you!! I do, I do, I dooooooo.
