In this talk we cover the basics of getting started with Google APP Engine development, and then move onto writing AJAX applications using the Google API's such as Google AJAX Feed on Google App Engine. We delve into a bit of JQuery as the preferred glue library to pull everything together. By the end of the talk the audience should feel some level of comfort in writing their own App Engine AJAX applications. There will also be brief coverage of the relevant Google API's that App Engine exposes such as authentication and Datastore.
