Some areas of the Android APIs are amazingly easy and will make you smile, some areas are depressingly quirky and will steal away whole afternoons of time.

Mass GTUG February 2010 Meeting - GWT 2.0 Overview
Google Web Toolkit
40 attendees
A talk by Mark Renouf covering some of the new features of GWT 2.0.
If you've been curious about GWT but haven't yet taken the dive, now is the best time. With the release of GWT 2.0, developing rich ajax applications for the browser is easier than ever. Development mode browser support will allow use of even more of your favorite debugging tools like Firebug enable real time preview of the look and feel of your app exactly as it will appear to your users. UiBinder eliminates boilerplate and speeds development by letting you cleanly separate design and layout from functionality. Layout panels provide a new option for making the most efficient use of the browser area by providing a fluid, resizable layout container.
He will give a brief review of what GWT is and why it works the way it does, followed by real examples of how the new features make GWT even more powerful. This talk will be primarily aimed at potential new users of GWT.

Mass GTUG January 2010 Meeting - Google App Engine (Python Version)
Google App Engine
10 attendees
It is not an introduction to web programming or a Google Apps session. It is assumed you know server-side web development — perhaps ASP, JSP or PHP. Please note, this session will be based on Python. Still, it is not a programming language session — the emphasis will be on learning the available APIs which are common between Java and Python on GAE. The idea is to familiarize everyone with the basic App Engine APIs. We will create a toy bank and be able to transfer "money" between accounts.
Speaker - J. Singh
