| ## Introduction | |
| In 2011 we announced the [Go runtime for App Engine](https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/go/overview). | |
| Since then, we have continued to improve the Go App Engine experience, | |
| and generally improved Go support for the Google Cloud Platform. | |
| For instance, the [google-api-go-client](http://code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client) provides | |
| a Go interface to a range of Google's public APis, | |
| including Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, | |
| Drive, and many more. | |

| ## High Performance Apps with Go on App Engine | |
| _The Go runtime for App Engine is a high performance engine for_ | |
| _running web applications. It produces fast responses,_ | |
| _starts instances in a fraction of a second, makes the most use_ | |
| _of instance hours, and allows your app to do serious processing_ | |
| _at full machine speed._ | |
| _Come along to hear how to fully exploit the power of Go on App_ | |
| _Engine and make your web applications the best they can be._ | |

| ## All the Ships in the World | |
| Visualizing Data with Google Cloud and Maps | |
| _Tens of thousands of ships report their position at least once_ | |
| _every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day._ | |
| _Visualizing that quantity of data and serving it out to large_ | |
| _numbers of people takes lots of power both in the browser and on the server._ | |
| _This session will explore the use of Maps,_ | |
| _App Engine, Go, Compute Engine, BigQuery, Cloud Storage,_ | |
| _and WebGL to do massive data visualization._ | |
