Once you've been introduced to Gaelyk and the Groovy way it wraps the services the Google App Engine, it's time to write some code. Bring your laptop for a hands-on Gaelyk hack session in which we build a working Gaelyk app utilizing as many of the GAE services as we can pack into a 180 minutes of coding!
Workshop attendees should have a laptop with the following: JDK 5+, an IDE or editor capable of editing Groovy code and HTML, the Google App Engine SDK already downloaded and installed (http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html#Google_App_Engine_SDK_for_Java), and the current version of the Gaelyk project template (https://github.com/glaforge/gaelyk/downloads).
