[lang_en]Evaluating the Google App Engine service platform to deploy Web applications[/lang_en]

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

[lang_en]A few days ago I’ve decided to give a try to the new Google App Engine (GAE) platform from Google. It’s basically a place where deploy your web application with the main feature of support scalability from moment zero. (like Amazon WS, etc…)

My first impressions of GAE are:

“Google Open Pizza Night” event, the summary

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I’ll write a summary of what it happens in the event, including my own impressions about the organization and programme.

- Duration of the event: From 18 to 23h. The time was enough to people like me that travelled specially for the event from Barcelona.
- Food: There was a lot of pizza, and were very tasty. That accompanied with both refresh,beers and snacks. Excellent!
- Topics explained: The only topic commented by the responsibles of the event was the new YouTube API. This was (IMHO) the most weak aspect of the event. It was really high level and nothing impossible to learn wasting half hour of our time alone with a PC.
- Projects presentations: Finally, a few entrepeneurs explained their projects:
jisko: a twitter like application
dilandau: mp3 “search engine” and player
tuenti
- Prizes: Every entrepeuner listed on the previous paragraph was awarded with a Power Ball, what a envy!

Finally, I’ll try to repeat and to presence next events from Google, hoping that they improve the quality and quantity of the topics offered to the assistants.
