Google Wave: Under the Hood

    Google Wave: Under the HoodCurrently the development projects that are being discussed or I am currently working on are around SAS products and tools to integrate within existing collaborative platforms. The architecture of Google Wave is explained clearly in this video and it has shaped the way that I am structuring these developments. Its worth the hour to watch this.

    Google Wave Need an Invitation

      Still trying to get a invite for Google Wave and reading everything I can on it at the moment. Found this really good video explains Google Wave. As open source products go this may have the most impact on web development so I am following with great interest.

      CloudCamp Scotland

        CloudCamp ScotlandI attended the CloudCamp event in Edinburgh University last night and was really impressed by the format, turn out and the most Pizza I have ever seen in one location. There were well over 100 attendees and some fantastic speakers the event passed quickly.

        The speakers included:

        • Alexis Richardson of RabbitMQ as MC
        • Max Robbins on Geo-balancing from aiCache
        • Mike Goodwin of Sage on the Cloud from a ISV viewpoint
        • Steve Caughey from Arjun
        • Also a quick pitch from the Open Source Software Awards

        There was a lot of focus on using the Cloud in commercial applications to support scalability and costing with some good demonstrations. I will be looking to use more Cloud based technology as the caching of pages in the Cloud is of interest.

          I love the concept of “the Mathematics Sellers” and the “Transportation” he uses to begin the presentation from a common point of understanding.
