Google App Engine New York Hack-a-thon
Thursday, May 8, 2008
Posted by Marzia Niccolai, App Engine Team
Yesterday, Google App Engine held our first ever hack-a-thon at the Google Office in New York City. We had a great turn out of App Engine developers. Some programmed along with us, building a wiki, and some developers brought along their own ideas and spent the day building some awesome applications.
At the end of the day, a few developers even came up and presented their work:
An application that provides 'a simple API for writing and reading small chunks of data from anywhere' :
http://tinydb.org/
An app that adds photos to the developer's facebook account
An Open Source Django utility project:
http://code.google.com/p/django-ae-utils/
An application that searches for clinical trials based on keywords
An application that uses GWT, Maps and Gears to track and map appointments and uses App Engine to keep the client side data synced
An app where users can list items for sale and get emails from interested buyers:

We look forward to seeing you at the San Francisco Hack-a-thon on May 16th
