SARAH PRICE: Hi, Glass developers.
Welcome to 2013.
I'm Sarah Price, your community advocate.
I've been reading all of your comments and questions online,
and I've noticed maybe one or two questions about what it's
going to be like to develop for Glass.
You want to know what the API is like.
You want to know what languages you can use.
You know what I mean.
So to help answer those questions, I want to introduce
you today to some members of our developer relations team,
Jenny and Timothy.
JENNY MURPHY: Hi, I'm Jenny, and I'm a Glass Developer
Programs Engineer.
TIMOTHY JORDAN: And I'm Timothy Jordan.
I'm a Glass Developer Advocate.
SARAH PRICE: So Jenny, can you tell us a little bit about
what it's going to be like to develop for Glass?
JENNY MURPHY: Absolutely.
Development on Glass is done with something called the
Mirror API, and it's basically a collection
of RESTful web services.
One of the great parts about this is if you've done any
development with other web services at Google, you'll
feel right at home developing on Glass.
SARAH PRICE: So I'm actually not very familiar with RESTful
web services.
What kinds of languages could I use to develop using them?
JENNY MURPHY: That's one of the great parts about RESTful
web services.
They're inherently language-independent, so you
can develop with whatever tools or languages are your
favorite, whether that be PHP or Python or even Java.
SARAH PRICE: Well, the next question I've seen a lot is,
when are people going to get access?
TIMOTHY JORDAN: Well, that's something that we're excited
to announce today.
For developers in the Glass Explorer program, we're
putting together what we call the Glass Foundry.
You can think of it as kind of a vacation with Glass.
For two full days, in San Francisco or New York, you'll
get early access to Glass and the Mirror API.
It's going to be a lot of fun, and we'll send an invite out
to your email shortly.
Space is limited, so please sign up right away.
SARAH PRICE: Well, thanks so much, guys.
I've seen so many great suggestions from developers
for what you want to do with Glass.
I can't wait to see what they put together.
So thanks, and see you at the Glass Foundry.
