"Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you."
We took a look at the technical part of facebook, especially the API provided. This API can be used by developers to write their own applications which can then be added by all facebook users to their personal facebook page. We carried out a quick evaluation, wrote a small example application and tested the API for its usability in practice. |

"Apache Tapestry is an open-source framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java."
We developed a simple Java Web Aplication using Tapestry 5 and analysed the steps necessary to port it to Google App Engine. The App Engine can be used by end-users to run their applications world-wide available and scaleable without needing an own infrastructure. Additionally we integrated some of Google App Engine's features (e.g. email sending or caching) with Tapestry 5. |
