Google App Engine Tech Demo
3 Jun
Like I said in this post, google app engine feels like this brand new, shiny toy that I just want to play with all day. Over the past 4 or 5 days I’ve been spending a couple hours a night playing with it and here is my stream-of-consciousness Cliff’s Notes:
- App Engine is incredibly streamlined
- The development environment is well documented and easy to use
- Setting the dev environment up with Eclipse was a breeze thanks to this post
- I decided to hop right into django – i’ve been wanting to test it out
- Django is nice, but I still think CakePHP runs circles around it as far as frameworks go
- Python is amazing – it just feels light and agile and I just want to touch it
I’m working on a little Technology Demo for Figaro Interactive on the app engine. After about 8 hours or so, I’d say it’s about 40% complete – not bad. I attribute a lot of that to App Engine’s steamlined-liness (that’s a word I swear), also a lot of it to how much a pleasure python is to work with. I’ll release more details about the technology demo when it’s closer to releasing.
