[google-appengine] Re: Ideas for hands-on AppEngine demo?

2009-01-15 Thread Nash-t

Looks like an interesting meeting. I would show them the registration
and upload process. It is one of the things I like about GAE because
it is well done. (I use the Mac app engine launcher). Also, it will
help them when they go to upload their own apps in the future if they
have seen you do it in your presentation.

I don't really have a simple or impressive app idea but I would like
to point out that GAE is an especially good platform for emergency
services because of its ability to sit unused (no cost ) and then
scale to meet sudden demand. Maybe users text message their location
to your application for immediate tally?

Good luck back there in NYC, (my old hometown)

 Hi guys,

 The New York City Cloud Computing
 Grouphttp://www.meetup.com/nyccloudcomputing/has asked me to put on
 a presentation about AppEngine for next month's
 meeting.  A couple of people have asked for it to be hands on meaning they
 would like to put together an actual Appengine app.

 Does anyone have an idea for a simple but impressive app we can put
 together?  The crowd is pretty evenly split amongst tech types and business
 types, although I expect mostly tech types at my presentation.

 Also, I think actually putting the code up on AppEngine is going to be a bit
 of pain because of the registration issue, so I'm NOT planning on doing
 that.  Do y'all agree with my thought on that?

 Any other thoughts?

It's one of the interactive ones I've ever been to!

I'd have to register one of them, since I can'tregister again (unless I get
another cell phone!).

I should be able to do it from the CLI on the Mac too, right?

Really good point!  That's going into the presentation.

I have used the mac cli scripts and they work well but the initial
registration I did with the GUI. Go ahead and show em the GUI, make
them jealous.

  Maybe users text message their location to your application for immediate
  tally?

 How does my application receive text messages?

After googling around, this is the best I can find:
http://www.ozekisms.com/index.php?owpn=193info=http_sms_gateway

basically there seems to be no low-cost way to receive SMS messages.
You may be able to do a SMS -- Jaiku, Jaiku API --- app engine but
google is shutting jaiku down.
