This essentially means that in case you are not familiar with Java or Python (open-source), you may have to quickly get on with these technologies to get started with google glass.

As part of development activity, what can we developers start coding or developing?

Well, we can start on with what Google Glassers have termed as “Glassware“. Glassware is a piece of software built on top of Google Mirror API. Google Mirror API is a set of Restful web services which help to communicate to and fro with google glass devices. Lets look at the diagram below to understand a little better:
