Building on Google App Engine
Google's App Engine cloud platform differs from many infrastructure-centric cloud technologies in that it is an Application Platform as a Service (APaaS) and thus, requires only code to build and deploy apps onto the cloud. Google App Engine provides a free usage entry path which can accommodate most modest web site/service deployments. Sites requiring more industrial strength scalability and bandwidth can enable billing and pay as needed to handle increased growth. Google App Engine distinguishes itself by offering development in either Python or Java. This workshop will be run in two tracks in both Python and Java with the same programming goals.

Cloud Performance Optimization
Cloud environments are shared environments, which means that despite your best efforts, someone else can impact your performance and uptime. What if a cloud neighbor doesn't play well with others? How can you be sure that your users are getting the availability you've promised, and the application performance to keep them happy and productive?
