Technology is always changing it is developing day by day there is no end for the technology so, as technology enthusiast we formed a user group for Sri Lankans as Sri Lanka Google Technology User Group

On 6th of August 2009 SL-GTUG organized their first meet up successfully. It was held at University of Colombo School of Computing. In the first meeting Android and Google Wave were discussed after introducing the audience to Google Technology User Groups.

Android session

Android session was conducted by Tharidu Fernando since Android is new to Sri Lanka he started his session from the very basics then gradually move to some advanced codings.

 

  

Wave session

Google Wave ,the next generation of communication, was also discussed at this meeting it was done by Keshan Sodimana since wave is new and still in developer preview not many people have wave accounts so, there were no one except the speaker had wave accounts so, he had to demonstrate how wave works. it took a while to show all the existing features and then move to some extension developing. first discussed the Embed API and then had a quick look at the Robot API as well.
