6:00-7:00 PM Cappuccino
It's 2009 and all the late-1990's hype of the browser as a "rich application platform" is finally starting to materialize. All is not well, however: developing in Javascript is a chore, there are still significant differences between browsers, and creating the rich, desktop experience users are expecting is a difficult task. Enter Cappuccino: a new and exciting RIA framework that helps align the web development experience with that on the desktop and helps create fantastic user interfaces. In this talk, Johnny will explain why Cappuccino matters, what it looks like, how it works, and how to hook it up with your existing Java services.About Johnny Wey

Despite the juggernaut that is the iPhone, the Android platform is making a splash in the mobile space.

I'll go over the tooling, some high level concepts around development, deployment and publishing your application to the world.
