Google Appengine Java: Groovy baby!
Abstract
Introduced in April 2009, and made available to all developers last june, Google Appengine Java allows developers to leverage Google's cloud infrastructure to run their Java applications. With the Google Eclipse Plugin, as often demoed, it takes 5 minutes to put a GWT/GAE Java "Hello World" application in production: this talk will be about what can you do after these first 5 minutes of total bliss 
Patrick will cover Appengine Java's APIs, including recent features like XMPP and Task Queues, tools integration, limitations, how to run other JVM based languages used in the wild (Groovy, JRuby, Scala, Javascript), and show cool apps that have been developed with appengine.
Guillaume will present Gaelyk, a lightweight toolkit for easily developing applications in Groovy to be deployed on Google App Engine Java. We'll learn more about what the toolkit provides, how to leverage it for your own needs through some demos.
