18, 2013, our 17th and final weekly wrap up for the year.

I'm Louis Gray, and this is our highlight reel

of what's happening in the world of Google Developers on the set

and off.

Last week we hosted four special edition segments

in celebration of Computer Science Education Week

and the Hour Of Code campaign.

Here's how it all went down.

To kick things off, Van Riper hosted three students

from GDG Fresno High, as well as the group's sponsors,

Joshua and Courtney Woodward.

Mamie Rheingold chatted with the founder

of code.org, Hadi Partovi, who shared

why getting 10 million kids to code

is crucial for the success of every industry.

In our third segment, Deena Shakir and Girls

Who Code Founder Reshma Saujani shared how developers

can make an impact in teaching girls to code.

And on Friday, Natalie Villalobos hosted

noted entrepreneur Limor Fried, who

explained why engineering isn't boring,

whether it's LED shoes or DIY home automation.

You can find all these segments on our YouTube channel

and on our Google Developers Google+ page.

We then welcomed John Faig, Darrel Sumi from Talkray,

and Brad Green from Google's Angular team

into the studio for a talk on building Chrome packaged

apps using AngularJS.

John and Darrel discussed critical points

in transitioning from regular web apps

to Chrome packaged apps, as well as why AngularJS

makes for a great fit with packaged apps.

Some of the most helpful technical tips

come from friendly people you've never even met,

like the active communities on Stack Overflow in our YouTube

API community members.

This week we invited YouTube API Google Developer experts,

who we call GDEs, Matias Molinas, Tim Wintle and Jarom

McDonald to the studio to learn from them

face to face and see what they find fascinating about taking

on top code challenges.

Of course, you can always learn more about the GDE program

by visiting developers.google.com/experts.

Staying in YouTube land, Ibrahim Ulukaya hosted split media labs

explaining how the X Split broadcaster integrates

with the YouTube live streaming API

to create an easy and powerful game streaming experience.

Back in my day, when I fired up my Nintendo,

the only person who would watch me was my brother.

Now you can see all my complete lack of skills and failure

to get to the next level live on the web.

And finally, from the lawn, in the latest volley from the GDL

Italia series, Michele [? Orlessi ?]

presents on how you can deploy a PHP application on Google App

Engine.

Beyond our studios, the latest Chrome experiment

takes you to Middle Earth in the world

of a new movie, The Hobbit - The Desolation Of Smaug.

Check out the case study on html5rocks.com,

that's html5rocks.com, to learn how the team accomplished

the amazing interactivity of this experiment.

But watch out for dragons.

Last week [? Miley Olya ?] and the webmaster team

put together a great checklist for improving mobile websites.

You can read Miley's post on the Google Developers blog

and get handy tips for making users happier with your sites.

Also last week, Google+ Sign In for your apps got smarter.

Google+ Sign In now supports Google Apps accounts,

incremental auth, and migration from other auth methods.

Take a look at the Google Developers

blog for all of the details.

And finally, more news from the folks working to make the web

faster.

The resource timing API is now available.

This API enables you to track timing information

about every resource on the page,

so you can measure and then optimize.

And to make sure that you never miss a thing from the world

of Google Developers, subscribe to Google Developers on YouTube

and check out the GDL schedule at developers.google.com/live.

I'm Louis Gray, and I'll see you in the studio.
