Google unveils a bevy of web developer treats at Google I/O
Summary
Since its original announcement, Google App Engine has provided developers with enough scalable resources to effectively serve around 5 million pageviews in a month. The API allows for developers to rotate, flip (both horizontal and vertical), crop, and a kind of "auto-adjustment" function similar to those found in popular desktop image management software. In addition to these programming abstractions, the compiler in this release of the toolkit produces significantly optimized—described as better than hand-coded—JavaScript using "deep inlining, better dead code elimination, and other forms of enhanced static analysis." Finally, and perhaps most exciting to me, is that Google released a brand new tool for web developers called the AJAX libraries API. For even more advantages, and some more tips to using this new service, check out team member Dion Almaers detailed explanation on Ajaxian.
