I’m at the Sydney version of the google developer day thanks to the folks at SoulSolutions and GeekGirlBlogs.  It’s been years since I was really hands on developer, and its kind of reassuring to see how stuff has moved on.

Learn more, and see the presentations at code.google.com

Topics that have interested me most so far: Google Android and Google Apps / Scalable web apps

Stuff I need to read more about:

• ‘BigTable’ and gQL!
• Python & Perl (seriously, how did I miss thaat boat)
• Getting a developent environment up and running to properly use the tools discussed.

Now the question is whether I’ve managed to leap over the thick client and so called rich internet apps of the past couple of years and found myself back in a rapid development environment, now with a hint of AJAX.

I hope so.  More updates to come.
