Google offers a ton of online developer content and resources, but this is largely inaccessible to regions of the world with limited Internet access. Many developers in these regions can’t gain easy access to the content they need, have trouble streaming tutorials, or just can’t download a software developer kit (SDK).

But all this is about to change.

Google is now offering an offline developer kit that includes select resources aimed at Internet-challenged regions.

The offline kits are targeted at people learning the basics and comprises of:

– The entire I/O Dev Bytes Series

– Full Google Udacity course videos (Android, App Engine, HTML5 games, UX, Mobile Web)

– The entire Android Website: http://developer.android.com

– Material Design docs from http://google.com/design

– Web Fundamentals documentation from http://developers.google.com/web

– The Google Cloud Platform docs from https://developers.google.com/cloud

– Android, Cloud, and Design videos from the Google Developers YouTube channel

Google has already distributed over 2,000 of these kits through Google Developer Groups in Sub-Saharan Africa, India, and Bangladesh. For more information on the offline developer kit, read here.
