Google Maps is the new search destination
Since the beginning of 2018, the search engine said there’s been a 50 percent increase in “Near Me” searches. Also, we’re searching for descriptions rather than a specific experience. So “late-night cocktails on a roof” is more common than a specific rooftop bar.

Google has a lot of help for web developers – for example, a tutorial on using the Chrome Developer Tools to debug JavaScript.
Use your Android phone to sign in to other devices with 2-Factor Authentication (2FA): Now generally available: Android phone’s built-in security key

Well, this looks interesting: Google Mobile Web Specialist Certification
Certification has gotten a bad rap at times, but I think there’s still value in pursuing certification. There’s no substitute for on-the-job experience with technologies, of course, but the curriculum and certification gives one an idea of the skills and knowledge needed in a subject.
Google Codelabs are small projects that provide hands-on experience with various parts of the Google Cloud and other technologies. Some of them look a bit obscure (well, compared to my interests), but a few look like must-sees, like Your First Progressive Web App or YouTube in Your App.
