Google Web Toolkit 2.0 with Speed Tracer now available

Google Web Toolkit 2.0 aims to make it easier for developers to build faster apps and to speed up the overall development cycle. Google Web Toolkit 2.0 has emerged with new tools in its toolkit and more features in its core SDK to meet the demands of today's web applications.

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a development toolkit for building and optimizing complex browser-based applications. GWT is used by many products at Google, including Google Wave and Google AdWords. It's open source, completely free, and used by thousands of developers around the world.

Google Web Toolkit now offers a new tool called Speed Tracer, a performance profiler for Google Chrome that allows developers to see what's going on in a whole new way by enabling diagnosis of hidden problems. Developer-guided code splitting is another new feature that allows developers to split up their application into multiple pieces for much faster startup times. Users download only the JavaScript they need to get started while the rest can be loaded at a later time.

Google News

Google News is a computer-generated news site that aggregates headlines from news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together and displays them according to each reader's personalized interests.

Traditionally, news readers first pick a publication and then look for headlines that interest them. Google do things a little differently, with the goal of offering readers more personalized options and a wider variety of perspectives from which to choose. Google News offer links to several articles on every story, so readers can first decide what subject interests them and then select which publishers’ accounts of each story like to read. Click on the headline that interests them and they'll go directly to the site which published that story.

The articles are selected and ranked by computers that evaluate, among other things, how often and on what sites a story appears online. Google also rank based on certain characteristics of news content such as freshness, location, relevance and diversity. As a result, stories are sorted without regard to political viewpoint or ideology and readers can choose from a wide variety of perspectives on any given story. Google will continue to improve Google News by adding sources, fine-tuning technology and providing Google News to readers in even more regions.

Android 2.0 support in the SDK!

Using the new sync, account manager and contacts APIs, you can write applications to enable users to sync their devices to various contact sources. You can also give users a faster way to communicate with others by embedding Quick Contact within your application. With the new Bluetooth API, you can now easily add peer-to-peer connectivity or gaming to your applications. To get a more complete list of the new capabilities you can add to your applications, please go to the Android 2.0 highlights page.

Current developers can use the SDK Manager to add Android 2.0 support to their SDK as well as update their SDK Tools to revision 3. New developers can download the Android SDK from the download site. After the download, Android platforms must be added using the SDK Manager

App Engine SDK 1.2.7 - Bugfix Release for Python

Due to two issues introduced in the 1.2.6 release of the Python SDK, Google are releasing version 1.2.7. This is a bugfix-only release with just a few minor changes (no new features or functionality); all users of App Engine for Python should upgrade to the new version, available on Downloads page.

The two issues were:

• The 1.2.6 release added a key argument to the Model class constructor that broke subclasses who were calling the constructor's private arguments with positional (not named) values. The fix is to restore the original ordering, and require that the new key argument be specified as a named argument only.
• The 1.2.6 release broke an interaction between remote_api and the local development app server.

remark: the Java SDK remains at 1.2.6

The Google Maps API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages with JavaScript. The API provides a number of utilities for manipulating maps (just like on the http://maps.google.com web page) and adding content to the map through a variety of services, allowing you to create robust maps applications on your website.

This Google Maps API V3 will look similar to the existing version 2 of the Google Maps API. However, much has changed under the hood: Version 3 has been designed to load fast, especially on mobile browsers such as Android-based devices and the iPhone™. The initial launch has a smaller feature set than that available in the V2 API. Additional features from V2 will be migrated while working to keep the size of the JavaScript code small and maintain our optimized loading speeds.

Simple is a BASIC dialect for developing Android applications. It is particularly well suited for non-professional programmers (but not limited to). Simple allows programmers to quickly write Android applications by using the components supplied by its runtime system.

Similar to its 90s relative, Simple programs are form definitions (which contain components) and code (which contains the program logic). The interaction between the components and the program logic happens through events triggered by the components. The program logic consists of event handlers which contain code reacting to the events.
