Overview  Started (by +Arun Shanker Prasad  ) with a slight intro and kicked-off with an overview of a data science application that was built by the Qburst (Company) team. And then moved over to Web Components and Polymer. Parser Combinators for Event Detection Presenter :   +Navin Philip  ,  Associate Architect, Qburst A beautiful project data-crunching app that utilises the Theory of Computation to verify and quantify different hypothesis and give useful results. Had a quick demo. d Web Components webcomponents.org Presenter : Shyam, Qburst Why Web Components? You could import/export encapsulated custom components. There are 4 main technologies in web components. Eg:  Make a Facebook like button without importing javascript. Include maps in a page.  googlewebcomponents.github.io customelmeents.io Polymer , X-tags( (Mozzila), Bosonic (Independent)  Templating New templating tags in html. ...

I myself had several times pondered in online news sites and Google to find the theaters playing a specific movie. Google never seem to be very specific for our a local region say movies in 'Trivandrum'. Even on the drive connecting to mobile internet and search for the 'now playing' movies and their theaters is a hassle. This prompted me to use my coding skill for a day to develop an application the benefits everybody happen to go by this situation. Bringing Back SMS To the rescue.  With WhatsApp gaining dominance, We've almost forgotten about normal SMS. But when all you require is few words answer for your 1 word query, I think SMS is the most simple and easy solution.  The service is offered for free, but standard national sms charges might apply at your end (good thing if you still do an sms offer). Currently as the service is offered only for Trivandrum. Yes! that's it just sms @popcorn movie_name to 9266592665  ... ...

Are you looking for app engine database designing tutorials in the Internet? Well unfortunately there is very few information about it out there. Most of them are generic in nature, praising the stale common features of cloud computing we've heard over and over again - scalability, fast, non-relational stuffs in general etc. I kept searching for hours to find that most of the results were not useful to make a real world applications in GAE , and finally stumbled on some very valuable sources and techniques from several sources and gathered a final concepts you need to know to model data in Google app engine. I'll share it very comprehensively in this tutorial so that you don't need to gather it from different places as I did. I'm quite experienced in relational database ( Oracle and MySQL) previously. I've been trying to design a product in Google App Engine since they provide free Java hosting. It was then that I got stuck wondering how to design my tables and s...

This was the first ever official hackathon conducted by Facebook directly in India. I registred right away when I saw the updated in developer post and it paid off well.

Installing Google Plugin for Eclipse Juno in Ubuntu I have been using the Eclipse Indigo in Ubuntu for a long time. Recently, I decided to start with the all new Eclipse Juno. It's faster than the previous Eclipse Indigo and the UI is much much improved. I do most of my developments with Google products like Google App Engine and Android platforms. The following steps could be followed if you want to install the entire Google Plugins for Eclipse Juno in Ubuntu. To avoid the whole mess of downloading and installing together, we'll do all the possible downloading part beforehand and then go ahead with the installation part. Download Eclipse Juno for Linux . Download the Android sdk for Linux  and extract it.  Download the latest archive of Google Plugins of Eclipse . Just download and unzip it, don't proceed to installation. Download the App Engine SDK for Java .  We are done with all the offline downloads possible. Now we move on to the installation part. It'...

Do you want to become a Google App Engine Java Ninja? I'm so impressed by this revolutionary technology so much that I explored into the most useful resources that will help you understand and code on this gold mine ( Google App Engine ).  I've been experimenting with several applications in GAE over a period of 1 year and have done so much that I could have never even though of doing without setting up a paid java server. I did all that in the free quota provided by Google App Engine. For now, here, I'm going to provide you with some of the most useful resources and websites from which you could learn to code on Google App Engine. The basic concept's would be. 1. Deploying your own sample application in Google App Engine 2. Learning more about the Google datastore 3. Understanding deeper about the JPA and JDO implementation possibilities in Google App Engine 4. Deploying Java applications done in the framework of your preference ( Eg. done in struts) Resources...

Well, for some of you the title might seem weird. I've been recently very curious on facebook application development models. And my love for java and Google app engine have led me to explore whether facebook application development is possible in Java with Google App Engine. I've recently shifted my entire work-base to Ubuntu so the entire development process will be in Linux environment.Long back, facebook have officially stopped supporting java for developing facebook applications. However, some java freaks have created the library files that still supports facebook applications development in java parallel to the capability of php. Usually, 'python' is used to develop facebook applications in Google App Engine. I'm curious to find whether the same stuff can be done with java on Google App Engine. I'm just going to scratch the surface and do a trial. I'll try to stay posted this time. Current Status: I've eclipse 3.5 for Ubuntu installed from the...
