About the Talk: Introduction to Google App Engine   
Cloud computing is revolutionizing the modern data centers of both enterprises and hosting providers. The cloud computing stack is generally divided into three layers - IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. Most of the products fit into one of these three categories while a few of them cross-over to adjacent layers. In this talk, the speaker will provide an in-depth introduction to Google App Engine from a system architecture and application development perspectives. Google App Engine supports three major languages - Python, Go and Java or other JVM compatible programming languages. This talk will focus on Python programming language.
