Start to write Glassware for your Google Glass! This workshop is tailored for beginners. Working knowledge of Java and Android development is expected although anyone wanting to learn how Glassware is developed are also welcome. This session will walk you through sample applications provided by the Glass Team, and by the end of the session, you should have both working Java Mirror Glassware as well as GDK Glassware.

Attendees will need to prepare your laptops with SDK and tools. Please follow detailed instructions in the Prerequisites section.

We request owners of Glass to be willing to share your device with others. This is a hands-on workshop so please bring your laptop and Google Glass. We will have some loaner Glasses but expect to share for those who don't have one. Expect up to 4 attendees per Glass.
