3 New Google Web 2.0 Releases Tomorrow

New additions for google in the web 2.0 space. A offline browser plug-in aimed at making web apps work both on and offline – Similar to Adobe Apollo. Mashup Editor which is like Yahoo Pipes but more scriptic. Also a new version of GWT which has no new functionality, but they did make a lot of changes to get the source code and build scripts into presentable shape to prepare for ongoing open source development.

--------------------------

Tomorrow, Google will be hosting a developer day for 5,000 developers worldwide. The bulk of developers will be gathering at the San Jose convention center for a keynote by Google’s VP of Engineering, Jeff Huber. At the conference Google will be outlinging their their developer strategy. But the big announcement will be Google Gears, an open source browser plugin that will enable developers to create offline web applications using JavaScript APIs. As a developer, you’ll be able to make an application with the assurance that it will work offline and online across browsers.

The plugin is a 700K download for Firefox 1.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+ that installs three developer APIs. One API will handle the creation of data objects to store application information locally, another will be a SQLite relational database for searching the data, and the final part will enable asynchronous JavaScript so applications can sync data in the background without overburdening the browser. More info on the APIs are available at the gears website.

Other launches at Developer Day include a new mashup editor that competes with Microsoft PopFly and Yahoo Pipes. Google’s attempt is a little less visual than the others, but the intention is the same. Last but not least, there’s a new version of Google Web Toolkit. For devs, Christmas came way early this year.

Interview with Dan Malks, Deepak Alur, & John Crupi of JackBe

http://sys-con.tv/read/239153.htm Live from JavaOne 2006 in San Francisco By: SYS-CON TV Jun. 21, 2006 12:00 PM I liked the fact that Danny Malks mentioned how JackBe is moving towards "lightweight" platform solutions direction with r egards to the convergance of SOA and the client while utilalyzing AJAX technologies. Sounds like a software model that could help other independent software vendors (ISVs), service providers and enterprises deploy their services exposed by their SOA as software as a service (SaaS). In addition, to not only creating meaningfull mashups, but provide a lightweight admin platform to regulate those atomic messages. Interesting listen from the former Sun team who brought us the J2EE bible. Only thing I noticed is that I had to quickly turn down my volume when John Crupi spoke a couple of times. He's so loud. I wonder if he's always so loud? Web 2.0, Mashup, Enterprise 2.0, AJAX, SOA, Composite Applications, Platform, Framework, l...

DC Metro Police

This happened to one of my best friends who just so happens to be of Pakistany origen. By the way he actually was born and grew up in OHIO. Way to go Metro and DC Police. "Last week I entered the metro with my wife. As usual, we were in haste and wanted to just board the train by making our way through the crowded gates. I have a Smart-card and replenish it once every 2 weeks. As i walked through the gate, i had -$0.30 on my card. If anyone has a Smartcard, they know that the card lets you be negative to a certain amount, but when you refill the card you have to make up the difference. That is a benefit of the Smart Card. But Officer BF Johnson didn't think so. He stopped me in my tracks, ordered me to approach him. He then ordered me to hand over my license and called the station to check for any suspicious (Obviously terror-related) activity from my end. He was telling me "you are riding on a negative balance, you are stealing from the metro". Yeah, lets call th...
