Go Go Google :)

I was browsing google application engine features where I am thinking in hosting a website there. You may don't know that a free account can use up to 1 GB of storage and up to 5 million page views a month.

Anyway I found something else interesting which is Go programming language, it is a new one owned by google and is very interesting and promising. I have quoted the following:



"Compiled Go code runs at close to the speed of C"

"Compilation happens almost instantly"

"Existing languages haven't been optimized for multi-core processors or massive scaling." "One of our goals in Go was to make a language that could use those processors well, particularly for the kind of server-side programming that we do here at Google where you have many client requests coming into a machine that's multiplexing them. And Go is a really good language for writing multiplex servers in, where you use these things called 'go' routines, which are kind of like threads but lighter-weight, and some communication primitives to do the multiplexing"

"Go is appropriate for a broad spectrum of uses, including Web programming, mobile programming and systems programming"

Nice Name but the question is: What are google's plans for GO?

Google Web Toolkit with UCM

Started development using Google Web Toolkit which in my opinion will be one of the major development tools for enterprise applications.

Let me explain from Oracle UCM point of view, in UCM services can be consumed using JSON that's by adding IsJson=1 at end of the URL, even if you created custom services you can consume them using JSON too. Now using GWT you can build your vertical solution which calls UCM services and display results and takes actions. In that way you will gain great benefits, like concentrating on user interface, build easy to use application, and lightweight too which will attract customers.

I recommend you to take a look and consider it seriously as another point of view for development.

Chrome OS

I have downloaded Chrome OS, and I tried it. I think it is good OS, light, and suitable for Notebook users. The OS is Linux based on SUSE Linux (as I think), also uses OpenOffice but SUSE release (not Oracle). It is mainly focusing on using Online services offered by Google like google docs, so the main interface used is Chrome browser, not Explorer.exe in Windows.

Really I like the idea, but still for windows users it's hard to make them change, where most windows users are using local storage and services, and they didn't have the Cloud concept. However Google is the only one who has the power to convince users to change.

For me as Fedora user, I think there is no big difference but services and features offered by fedora for me as developer are higher.

Let us see how Google community will improve Chrome OS.

I have been invited to google wave from days thanks to Amr Gawish, I didn't do a lot of things in it yet, but I liked it. I like the way of collaboration using google wave. Currently I have 7 invitations if you need one just send to me.

I hope in the future no one is chatting, all of us gonna be waving :)
