Event Description
This 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
David 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.

By Anna BerenbergHow Pair Programming Enhanced Development Speed, Focus, and Flow
Ola Hast and Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom gave a talk about continuous delivery with pair programming at QCon London. Their team uses pair and mob programming with TDD; there are no solo tasks or separate code reviews. This approach boosts code quality, reduces waste, and enables the sharing of knowledge. Frequent breaks help to maintain focus and flow.
