But they have offered developers a lot more than that. The Wave architecture incorporates many innovations since email - especially live cooperative editing. So Google challenges us to reinvent our communication apps with these possibilities in mind.<br /><br />Wave is a big topic so the talk is organized in three parts with time for discussion:<br /><br />1. Wave - Product, Platform, and Protocol. <br />An overview of Wave emphasizing the Wave platform for extension development.<br /><br />2. Wave architecture - Patterns for development.<br />Approaches for using Wave's live synchronization layer with new and existing web applications.<br /><br />3. Development of Wave robots in Java.<br />The API for building Wave robots that watch user activity and respond with edits. Robot services range from simple text substitution to interfaces to existing web services.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8737140165049595111-2287038052127690750?l=log.evenview.com' alt='' /></div>Rick Thomasnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737140165049595111.post-7702997431892005462009-07-20T12:24:00.003-05:002009-07-20T13:09:09.706-05:00I gave a talk recently titled "A Strategic View of Wave" and concluded that Wave will change everything. Here are my <a href="http://evenview.com/static/strategic_view_of_wave_20090716.pdf">speaker's notes</a> if you would like to read my first take. Better, I will be expanding on them here, so follow the feed.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.meetup.com/atlantawebentrepreneurs/calendar/10683063/">meeting</a> gave Atlanta a bit of angular momentum around Wave. But, I wondered, how can we achieve cyclone?<br /><br />The next day, a briefing on a strategy for Atlanta economic development was released by the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.The study briefing is linked at <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/us/18cities.html">Optimism Abounds on a New Economic Development Strategy</a>.<br /><br />I am awestruck by the huge oppotunity, for Atlanta and for each of us! To begin the conversation I offer this matrix of the economic wave that will accompany Google Wave.<br /><br /><a href="http://evenview.com/static/economicwave.png"><br /><img src="http://evenview.com/static/economicwave_small.png" alt="Economic Waves of Google Wave" /><br /></a><br /><br />I was at Google I/O in May. Since then I have been thinking about the ecosystem of Wave extensions and a web enabled by a fast auction layer. For the next year I'll be devoting my energy to these by advocacy, strategic consulting and demos.<br /><br />Let's build a Wave industry in Atlanta.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8737140165049595111-770299743189200546?l=log.evenview.com' alt='' /></div>Rick Thomasnoreply@blogger.com1
