Building applications is sometimes messy, it’s always iterative, and it often works best when it’s collaborative. As a developer, you regularly experience the frustration of a cryptic error message and the quiet triumph of finding a clever workaround. Either way, finding help or sharing success is best facilitated by a community of builders.
That’s why we are excited to launch the Google Developer Program forums at at discuss.google.dev. The new forums are designed to help people build with Google technology. You will find discussion groups to engage with other developers and Google experts; how-to articles, reference architectures and use cases; and a community of users looking to help.
We’re also migrating the existing Google Cloud, Workspace Developer, AppSheet, and Looker communities, channels and content from googlecloudcommunity.com over to discuss.google.dev. So, existing knowledge isn’t lost – it’s just moving to a new home. And by migrating the community we’re able to focus on two core principles in the new design: high trust and high utility.
Signal over noise
Your Google Developer Program profile is how you will access the forums. By unifying our sign-in, and connecting forum profiles directly to Google Developer Program profiles, we can programmatically display your earned credentials and reputation which you’ve earned through learning, events, and meetups that happen across the Google ecosystem.
