#### Android

- User identity has gotten a lot easier with the [latest release of Google Play Services](http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/11/whats-new-in-google-play-services-83.html?utm_campaign=play%20services_series_devshow2_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog). We’ve revamped Sign-in to make implementation simpler and provide users a more streamlined experience. Other updates touch Smart Lock APIs, the Fused Location Provider, and App invites. Magnus joined us on the show to give us more details on the release.
- More than 19 thousand organizations are now testing or using [Android for Work](https://www.google.com/work/android/?utm_campaign=android_series_androidforwork_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog) which makes it easier and safer for employees to use their own Android devices for work.
- Important bug and crash fixes are in place with the [latest release of the Android Support Library](http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/index.html?utm_campaign=android_series_devshow3_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog), available now.
- Find success for your app or game business with Google Play — this is the goal behind a new playlist of videos from our annual developer event, [Playtime 2015](http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/10/watch-google-plays-playtime-event-how.html?utm_campaign=play%20services_series_playtimeevent_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog).
- The [Android Dev Summit](https://www.youtube.com/user/androiddevelopers/featured?utm_campaign=android_series_devsummit_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog) is just around the corner! If you can’t make it in person, remember to tune into the live stream November 23rd and 24th.

#### TensorFlow

- [TensorFlow](http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/11/tensorflow-googles-latest-machine_9.html?utm_campaign=cloud%20platform_series_tensorflow_112015&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog) is Google’s latest machine learning system and it’s open source. Seriously, it’s awesome. I caught up with the technical lead on the project to talk about what it means for researchers and software engineers. Watch the show for more.

#### Chrome

- Also, the [Chrome Dev Summit](https://goo.gl/WxSMeV) has wrapped and if you weren’t able to make it in person, that’s okay! All the sessions are available online.
- Splash screens for web apps launched from the home screen on Android and script execution deferring are two big things launching with [Chrome 47](http://blog.chromium.org/2015/10/chrome-47-beta-idle-time-work-splash.html?utm_campaign=chrome_series_47_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog) on December 1st. Pete was on the show to tell us what we need to pay the most attention to for that launch.
- Compound bindings as well as effective children and distributed node observers are the two significant features included in the [latest release of Polymer](https://blog.polymer-project.org/releases/2015/11/02/release-1.2.0/?utm_campaign=polymer_series_newversion120_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog).

#### Maps

- The Google Maps API meetups and hackathons continue with the Europe version of ‘[Code the Road](http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-google-maps-apis-team-hits-road.html?utm_campaign=maps_series_devshow3_111915&utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog)’.
