   Launching scalable apps with Google App Engine and GWT 2.1

Presented by:

  David Chandler of Google

Monday May 16, 2011
6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Red Hat/Raleigh
1801 Varsity Drive, Raleigh, NC
TriJUG (http://trijug.org) meetings are hosted by JBoss

Presentation summary:

   Launching scalable apps with Google App Engine and GWT 2.1 Google
   AppEngine lets you build and host scalable Web applications written
   in Python or Java on Google's infrastructure. Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
   lets you build and optimize rich browser-based apps in Java without
   having to be an expert in browser quirks, XMLHttpRequest, or
   JavaScript. In this talk, we'll look at how to build and deploy a
   GWT+GAE application with Google Plugin for Eclipse and the GWT 2.1
   application framework: MVP architecture with Activities and Places,
   persistence layer with RequestFactory and the GAE Datastore, and UI
   data binding with the Editor framework. We'll also take a peek at
   GWT Designer for Eclipse and performance optimization with
   SpeedTracer.

About the Speaker:

   avid Chandler works with the Google Web Toolkit Team in Atlanta. An
   electrical engineer by training, Chandler got hooked on developing
   database Web applications in the days of NCSA Mosaic and has since
   written Web applications professionally in a variety of languages,
   including C, perl, ksh, ColdFusion, Java, JSF, and GWT. Prior to
   joining Google, Chandler worked on Internet banking applications
   with Intuit and launched a non-profit startup built with GWT and
   AppEngine. Chandler holds a patent on a method of organizing
   hierarchical data in a relational database and blogs about Java
   Web development at turbomanage.wordpress.com.
