January 26, 2011: Google Web Toolkit and App EngineThis month at the Sunjug, David Chandler from Google with discuss two
technologies for developing and deploying Rich Internet Applications.
What’s New in GWT 2.1 Google Web Toolkit (GWT) lets you build and optimize rich
browser-based apps without having to be an expert in browser
quirks,XMLHttpRequest, or JavaScript. In this talk, we'll look at
powerful new capabilities in GWT 2.1 including MVP architecture with
Activities and Places, client-server communication with RequestFactory,
visual layout with GWT Designer for Eclipse, and performance
optimization with SpeedTracer. Launching scalable apps with Google App Engine
Google AppEngine lets you build and host scalable Web applications
written in Python or Java on Google's infrastructure. We'll look at how
to build and deploy a GWT+GAE application with Google Plugin for Eclipse
and get an overview of building the App Engine way, including working with the Datastore, task queues, and quotas. Speaker bio
