5 Huge Google IO 2011 HTML5 Talks

(disclaimer: I haven't seen every talk at Google IO this year, there might very well be other huge talks. This is what I've seen and want you to see, too.)

These five talks are going to be huge.  If you are an HTML5 web developer you won't want to miss them.  And don't worry, these talks will be live streamed.

HTML5 and What's Next by Alex Russell and Ian Fette will introduce, well, I don't want to spoil it.  Don't miss it.

Super Browser 2 Turbo HD Remix : Intro to HTML5 Game Development by Seth Ladd will walk you though, from start to finish, how to build a simple HTML5 game.  Also, we'll blow up aliens.

HTML5 Showcase for Web Developers : The Wow and How by Eric Bidelman and Arne Roomann-Kurrik has extremely high production value, awesome demos, and will open your eyes to what's possible in HTML5 now and soon.

Mobile Web Development: From Zero to Hero by Michael Mahemoff and Paul Kinlan take a pragmatic approach as they walk you through building a mobile web app in HTML5.  Mobile is hot hot hot.

Chrome Web Store Publisher Panel by Seth Ladd brings three successful partners together (Springpad, World Golf Tour, and New York Times) to tell their stories of web app development and publishing to the Chrome Web Store.  Learn the differences between a web site and web app, how usage grew, and how to use HTML5's offline features.

All of these talks will be streamed so you can follow along at home.  Each will have a Google Moderator link so you can even ask and vote on Q&A questions.

Enjoy!

Lists and arrays in Dart

(This is Part 3 in a series about Dart. Check out Part 2, Function in Dart .) Warning : We expect the Dart libraries to undergo potentially sweeping changes before Dart goes to alpha. This document is relevant as of 2011-12-22. Intro Dart is a "batteries included" effort to help app developers build modern web apps. An important "battery" is the bundled core Dart libraries, providing common and rich functionality. Dart is building a solution for large, complex web apps, and providing well tested, integrated, and common libraries is key to helping a web app developer be more productive out of the box. The Collection libraries are a crucial set of APIs that Dart developers get for free. Much more than simple arrays and maps, the Collection library includes standard ways to filter, iterate, inspect, compose, and sort your data. This post specifically looks at List<E> , Dart's ordered, indexable collection of objects. Aside: The Dart project is lucky

Converting Array to List in Scala

Now, this has to have a built-in somewhere in Scala , because it just seems too common. So, how to convert an Array to a List in Scala? Why do I need this? I needed to drop to Java for some functionality, which in this case returns an Array. I wanted to get that Array into a List to practice my functional programming skillz. **Update**: I figured out how to convert Arrays to Lists the Scala way. Turns out it's a piece of cake. val myList = List.fromArray(Array("one", "two", "three")) or val myList = Array("one","two","three").elements.toList The call to elements returns an Iterator , and from there you can convert to a List via toList . Nice. Because my first version wasn't actually tail recursive, what follows is a true tail recursive solution, if I were to implement this by hand. The above, built in mechanism is much better, though. object ArrayUtil { def toList[a](array: Array[a]): List[a] = { d
