Show & Tell 1 : Junda Ong : “Using App Engine for mobile apps”
I will discuss on how I use AppEngine (Java) for the development of SG 4D, one of the most popular Singapore iPhone app. The presentation will cover the technologies and techniques that I have used, such as framework for AppEngine, data mining, and Android.

Show & Tell 2 : Stephan February : Securing Grails on Google AppEngine
Description: The speaker will demonstrate how one should go about providing authentication for your GAE Grails application using a combination of Spring Security, OpenID and OAuth. The basics of OpenID and OAuth will be discussed.

Short Talk 1 : Johan Sellstrom & Mikael Karon : Introduction to Open Social Graph
The presenters will share the new open source project aiming to make sense of the multiple social connections across multiple social networks. Google App Engine has been selected as the platform for hosting this project. The speakers will discuss how AppEngine is useful for doing this successfully and what other technologies (primarily Google APIs) will be used in this regard. Currently members of Singapore GTUG are volunteers in carrying out the project. This will be a callout to all developers in Singapore to contribute using Google Code project hosting platform.

Short Talk 2 : Sneha Mohan : A curtain raiser to Echelon 2010
The speaker will present a sneak preview of Echelon 2010 conference scheduled to happen in 1-2 June 2010 in Singapore. This conference has been rebranded from this year and previously was known as unconference.

Show & Tell 3 : Chris Boesch : Building globally scalable games with Python, Django, and the Google App Engine
In this Chris will share with us his experience and knowledge of using Python (a dynamic programming language) with Django (a python based web-framework) with Google App Engine.

Show & Tell 4 : Varun Agarwal : Google App Engine 101
The Presenter will first introduce the Singapore Google Technology User Group @ SMU and showcase what has been done till now and discuss the future plans. The talk aims to capture technologies like Google App Engine from the perspective from an amateur developer. It also aims to go through chunks of code that make up an app engine app and study the variations that one can do with the same.
