The Google IO 2014 conference was held on 25th and 26th June. This year there was quite a lot on offer for web developers. In this deck I collect some videos you that cover research findings on mobile web usability, google’s new unified design philosophy (Material design), a library called Polymer to help make developing web components easier and last but not least why you should be using HTTPS everywhere. We take a look at: Design principles for a modern web. Material design; Google’s new visual language used across all new products going forward. Why Google thinks web components are the future of the web

1. A recap for web developers

2. Web
Fundamentals:
Best practices for

large-scale typography, and intentional white
space create a bold and graphic interface that
immerses the user in the experience.

17. Motion provides meaning

18. Motion is meaningful and appropriate, serving to
focus attention and maintain continuity.
Feedback is subtle yet clear. Transitions are
efficient yet coherent

22. Web
Components
a game
changer
