We’re focused on making desktop and mobile work better together so users have a seamless experience between platforms. And today, we are launching another step in this direction -- cross-platform single sign-on (SSO).

These bootcamps are a unique opportunity for you, your engineers, and your product managers to work side-by-side with Google engineers over the course of five days, while building…
