Hi all, Last night, Google announced their App Engine (http://code.google.com/appengine/), which allows creating web applications that access Google's BigTable technology and invisibly scales across as many servers as necessary to handle load.
Here is a short summary of why App Engine is exciting: http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2008/04/08/google-app-engine-changes-everything/ And a long one: http://highscalability.com/google-appengine-first-look This is huge news, so we've cancelled our planned meeting and asked Seth House, one of our django experts, to demonstrate how to get started with App Engine. We'll be meeting at 7:00 at the University of Utah, Emma Eccles Jones Medical Research Building, Room 1200, Thursday the 10th.
