The Silicon Valley Google Technology Use

The Silicon Valley Google Technology User Group meets on the first Wednesday of the month at the GooglePlex in Mountain View. The typical meeting format is registration and light dinner fare between 6:00 and 7:00pm. We invite our members that develop applications using Google technology to do brief demos of 5 minutes or less between 6:15 and 6:45pm. The main meeting starts with general announcements at 6:50pm. This is followed by a technical presentation and/or demonstration of one or more Google technologies from 7:00 to 8:00pm. The time between 8:00pm and 9:00pm is available for longer talks, extended Q&A and/or more informal networking before everyone heads home. Our meetings will always be free and open to the general public. However, we may have to limit attendance based on interest and the size of our meeting space. In order to find out early about upcoming events, we strongly recommend you join our Meetup Group which will be used to organize all our future events. In addition, we maintain a calendar with the planned event dates for the next year called out. As topics and presenters are finalized, this calendar is updated accordingly. When the topic involves Java Technology, we will sometimes co-host a joint meeting with the Silicon Valley Web Developer JUG (Java User Group) like we did for our Google Web Toolkit inaugural meeting on January 15th, 2008. Disclaimer: The Silicon Valley GTUG is an independent group; our activities and the opinions expressed on this site should in no way be linked to Google, the corporation.

What is a GTUG?

To put it in a nutshell, GTUG stands for

To put it in a nutshell, GTUG stands for Google Technology User Group and it is a community where programmers meet to discuss and work with several Google developer resources and products. The group organizers conduct regular events that are similar to events conducted at Google I/O each year to enable programmers to learn about various Google technologies without having to visit Google I/O each year. Topics range from AdWords and Analytics to Friend Connect, Open Social and AppEngine. In many events, you may even get the chance to interact with developers who have already programmed on any of these platforms in person.

Ah Google! The young company never fails

Ah Google! The young company never fails to excite us. Little over ten years ago, two geeks rented a garage in California in a bid to start a company that would "Organize the world's information and make it universally accessible." While the idea of indexing the world's information seems far fetched even for today, the company has grown into a technology behemoth with some of the most exciting products. Oh and no, they didn't just make products for consumers and users, they made products for developers too! Most of Google's developer tools and products are open source and free to use, some with limits. The plethora of Google developer products has created a tightly knit community of hardcore programmers who love to develop on these platforms to leverage on Google's infrastructure and user base. When you create an application using AppEngine or Android or, you create a simple iGoogle Gadget for your hobby club, you can target potentially millions of users hungry for your product. As developers, this is our dream. Don't you just love the feeling when you create something that so many people around the world use? Just knowing that your product is being used by someone somewhere gets any developer excited. Because of this community of developers, Google holds annual developer events called Google I/O in the United States but, not everyone get the chance to visit. This lead to the creation of many smaller developer groups around the world - most confined to a specific geographic location - that hold events often.

June 5, 2009 GTUG - Using the Google Co

June 5, 2009 GTUG - Using the Google Collections Library for Java (2 of 2) 08/06/2008 - http://sv-gtug.org The Java Collections Framework is indispensable to nearly every Java developer. Yet, you may often find yourself searching for a collection type, implementation, or utility that's nowhere to be found. In this session, you'll learn how the open-source Google Collections Library builds on the excellent foundation of java.util, to provide more of the building blocks you need to do your job. You'll see many examples of how your code can become simpler, safer, more flexible, and more powerful by adopting classes like ReferenceMap, Multimap, our immutable collections and many others. Kevin Bourrillion is the lead engineer for Google's core Java libraries, more of which will be open-sourced in the future. He is a primary author of the Google Collections Library, and of Google's Java dependency injection framework, Guice. He came to Google in 2004 after seven years of fighting for life at a string of Hot Silicon Valley Start-Ups.
