Animate HTML5 and Ninja Web Framework on AppEngine

We are looking forward to having you at the Google office for our GDG Berlin May meetup.

We will first have +Martin Görner (https://plus.google.com/113532596314034732476/posts) from Google Paris present the current state of animation in HTML5 and WebGl. Then +Raphael Bauer (https://plus.google.com/118082806863266758700/posts) will present a new lightweight Java framework which works nicely on AppEngine.

See you there!

Here are some details about both talks:
