Google App Engine
by Scott on June 08, 2008
Interested in an excuse to learn Python, and always on the lookout for production environments that are both stable and flexible, and I took a look at Google App Engine. To try it out, I created a simple contact and task manager that is live at http://bizz.appspot.com. I love the speed at which changes are deployed as well as the removal of environment maintenance tasks.
Python and Google’s webapp framework programming is rather straightforward too. I also find the constraints of Google App Engine really do steer me to keep things simple which leads to faster turn around time and less head-scratching.
With just a few hours of Python programming under my belt, I can see why Python programmers it as much as Ruby programmers enjoy Ruby. It really is an enjoyable language to work in and I’m looking forward to creating a couple more simple applications with Google App Engine.
