(nearly the same talk as but using the DevFest 2013 template) This talk was delivered in Sep 2013 at GDG Silicon Valley as one sample delivery of this talk, which is being made available to DevFest speakers by Google for the 2013 season. It provides overviews of cloud computing and the Google Cloud Platform then goes into an in-depth introduction to Google App Engine, the application hosting & development platform. The talk concludes with more info on the suite of products that make up the Google Cloud Platform as well as other Google-related services.
