We at ThoughtWorks Chennai are delighted to invite you to our latest GeekNight. An exciting array of talks and learnings await you!

Agenda

Session 1 : Google App Engine (Java): 6:15 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.

This session will focus on the Google App Engine and its differences from other application development platforms. Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. These applications scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow, even though there are no servers to maintain.

Participants will work on a simple application (with a Google Web Toolkit front end), learn why things are done differently on the GAE Datastore / Bigtable and how to use these differences to their advantage. We'll also take a quick look at the other APIs that are bundled with the App Engine (Users / Memcache / Mail / UrlFetch).

Speakers:

Udayakumar Rayala works as a Developer at ThoughtWorks, writing code in Java. He is a TDD enthusiast and loves writing modular code. He has worked with Google Web Toolkit and Enterprise Java applications.

Sudhir Jonathan is a Developer at ThoughtWorks who works with Java and Python. He loves the idea behind cloud computing and runs a mapping and a cultural website built on the App Engine.

Session 2 : Google Wave: 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

A brief introduction on the wave protocol and Google Wave product which was recently released. This session will also help the participants to write a Robot which will communicate with the Wave participants.
