2. #dfua Who are the Google Developer Experts? https://developers.google.com/experts/ […] outstanding developers who exhibit great expertise in one or more Google technologies and share it with the developer community. GDEs are gurus, mentors and evangelists; they create tutorials, code samples, and write books and blogs; they publish videos, drive community projects, and present at events large and small. These independent developers bring their real-world experience and knowledge working with Google technologies to developer communities worldwide.
3. #dfua OK, but who are the GDEs REALLY? ❖ developers, just like you ❖ people with a deep passion for technology, with years of experience in their field ❖ heavy users of Google’s products. We know your needs, because they are our needs too! ❖ the friendliest, smartest bunch of people I’ve had the chance to meet, although most of them will not admit that
