The computing cloud is forming on top of the web. It's going to change the way we develop and use applications. This event, "Intelligence from the Cloud" will look at the connection between the cloud and web intelligence. The focus will be the new infrastructures available today that are enabling easy creation and consumption of web intelligence and semantics in the cloud.

Wesley Chun from Google AppEngine Team will introduce Google App Engine platform, an application development and hosting platform that lets you build & deploy web applications on Google's high-traffic infrastructure. App Engine executes apps (written in Python or Java) on servers that use the same technology that powers Google's websites for speed and reliability. There is no need to think about virtual machine images or disk requirements... you just provide the code. This is a high-level talk introducing attendees to Google App Engine, including its components and architecture as well as some of its most popular developer APIs, such as memcache, users (Google accounts), email, URLFetch, XMPP, Blobstore, etc. Time-permitting we'll go through a simple example using Python.
