Tech Talk Topic: Living in the Cloud: Hosting Data & Apps Using the Google Infrastructure

Building modern web applications is hard work. The traditional problems of infrastructure, systems administration, and scalability need to be taken into account throughout the software life cycle. Data needs to be published in a way that makes it accessible to others, and will probably need to be consumed from existing services as well. All in addition to actually building your application.

This talk will provide an overview of two technologies that aim to make this process easier by building upon Google's distributed computing system: Google App Engine and the Google Data APIs.

Please RSVP online here.

Google is accepting full-time applications for the software engineer role. BS and MS students, please apply online at www.google.com/students before October 15th to be considered for an on campus interview. PhD students do not have an application deadline. Bringing a resume to the tech talk will help expedite the process as well.

If you are interested in summer internships, please sign up for a notification online at http://services.google.com/events/intern_opps and you will be contacted via email when we begin accepting applications.

Please contact Hanah Kim at hanah [at] google [dot] com if you have specific questions or concerns.

For full details please see the attached flyer. Also be sure to join us for the Google Tech Talk this Tuesday.
