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.

Article: From Batch to Micro-Batch Streaming: Lessons Learned the Hard Way in a Delta Index Pipeline
This article describes how a production delta-index pipeline migrated from scheduled batch to micro-batch Spark Structured Streaming. It covers why record-level streaming was rejected, how partition-based watermarks replaced fragile S3 completion markers, overlap-window correctness, and restart-as-design strategies for better predictability in object-store–based ingestion systems.
