Session On Web 2.0 using Google Technologies at Java + Google Meet

The expert session for the next IndicThreads Java meet is about "Using
Google technologies and APIs for Web 2.0 development". Google technologies like Maps, Searches and Docs are very popular. However
realizing that the innovation in Web 2.0 has to come from communities on the web, Google is now empowering them with tools and APIs to build their own innovative yet practical applications.

One can now combine and build applications using maps, gadgets, customized search, feeds,spreadsheets and mashup editors, and not to forget Google Gears.
This session will look at using various Google technologies and APIs
for Google Mapplets, Local Searches, Google Base, Searches, Open Social
and even Google Docs (mainly about building applications with
SpreadSheet). This topic ends with introducing the Pune Google
Technology User Group.

Steps for promoting Google Technologies

Our intension is simple, facilitate the developer community in Pune, to use Google Technology to build pratical applications for their own communities.
We have simple 3 Step process to do so
1. Educate
2. Collaborate
3. Innovate

Educate -
We are at this step at the time this blog is written. We are trying to educate the developer community in pune about various Google Technologies. The general approach here is to keep putting blogs and tutorials to let the community know about new and upcoming Google Technologies. Also, there would be a meet for pune developer community to present Google Technologies at all the levels, from conceptual to actual hands on

Collaborate
In this step, the community more or less know names and short description of various Google Technologies. They have a picture, of where what will fit in. Now they start collaborating on the Google Group, in meets and via various other channels, to get the answers to their queries. People would themselves will follow what's new on Google Technology front and discuss whether they could be best used.

Innovate
The last step and the goal of GTUG. Help the developer community to actually launch applications, apply radical concepts to these applications. Make the applications they launched popular over GTUG. Present the whole concept and idea behind these applications and how they would help the web community.
This is where we would see the bright minds come together and actually drive the web community. This is the ultimate goal.
