Google I/O 2009 – ThoughtWorks on App Engine for Java..

2 Replies

Google IO 2009 – ThoughtWorks on App Engine for Java: An Enterprise Cumulonimbus? Martin Fowler, Rebecca Parsons Enterprise software pundits are now gazing metaphorically skyward. Theres all this talk of clouds, but what kind of clouds are coming, and will they be friendly? We begin by describing some applications weve developed for App Engine, including implementation of other languages, such as JRuby, on top of the App Engine for Java implementation. These implementations demonstrate the breadth of capability provided by App Engine. We then examine some of the strengths and current weaknesses that we encountered. We also describe more about the implications for testing that arise when developing on App Engine. We will also present an initial framework for characterizing these differnet clouds and examine how these characteristics will impact the adoption path for enterprises and the kinds of applications these enterprises will move to the cloud. Of particular interest here is the central role of Big Table in App Engine. Broad adoption of this of this platform could lead to lots of lightening striking at the dominant role relational data base systems currently enjoy.

Dave Blakely: Fostering Innovation

2 Replies

Part of the 2011 Entrepreneurship Conference. Innovation and creativity are learnable skills, not inborn talents. In this talk, Dave Blakely presents a set of principles for successful innovation, regardless of an organizations size, type or location. The heart of any innovation agenda is a carefully chosen interdisciplinary team, typically including members with backgrounds in technology, business, and other relevant industry-specific knowledge. Creative leaps can be inspired by empathetic human research, and insights are distilled in synthesis sessions. Techniques such as brainstorming can help teams to direct their creativity, and prototypes can be used to improve visualization and mitigate risk.
