Recommended Google I/O 2017 viewing


Google I/O 2017 is over. Like previous years, all the sessions have been published on Youtube.
I'd recommend watching all the sessions if you can, located at this link: http://bit.ly/2rnbGTO

Not sure where to start? Here are some of sessions I attended and found worth recommending..

Android Meets TensorFlow: How to Accelerate Your App with AI   http://bit.ly/2rW5LC8
Why:  Good intro to ML, operationalizing for small devices (sorting cucumbers, pruning trees) and just entertaining ! Don't miss the cultural ed at the end.

From Research to Production with TensorFlow Serving http://bit.ly/2r1zWHM
Why: Operationalising Machine learning. 

Past, Present and Future of AI / Machine Learning  http://bit.ly/2qUQdjp
Why: insightful and latest thinking from thought leaders in AI.

Why: Good intro to ML and TensorFlow

Single Codebase, Two Apps with Flutter and Firebase http://bit.ly/2rn3HpR

Introduction to Kotlin http://bit.ly/2qUrgVm
Why: If you write Java, you should look at Kotlin. 

Open Source TensorFlow Models . http://bit.ly/2r33NBX
Why: It's Entertaining - using AI in arts, image and audio. Well .. it can't all be about work right?
