The Google developer conference opens today in San Francisco, and the company is trying to boost gender and racial diversity by offering scholarships to the event. We take stock of this and other broader initiatives designed to make the coding world more diverse. Plus, Brian Solis, principal analyst with the Altimeter group, talks about Nest and building software for the Internet of Things. Finally, Mike Billings, who covers tech and venture capital for the Wall Street Journal, stops by to talk about MonkeyParking – a pay-to-park app that’s been banned in San Francisco – and the regulatory challenges facing transportation startups.
