Build exciting, scalable web applications quickly and confidently using Google App Engine and this book, even if you have little or no experience in programming or web development.
App Engine is perhaps the most appealing web technology to appear in the last year, providing an easy-to-use application framework with basic web tools. While Google's own tutorial assumes significant experience, Using Google App Engine will help anyone get started with this platform. By the end of this book, you'll know how to build complete, interactive applications and deploy them to the cloud using the same servers that power Google applications.
With this book, you will:
Using Google App Engine is also an excellent resource for experienced programmers who want to acquire working knowledge of web technologies. Building web applications used to be for experts only, but with Google App Engine — and this book — anyone can create a dynamic web presence.
This book was a real disappointment. Not because the contents are bad (they are in fact pretty good), but because it really should have been called "Web Apps 101 using GAE as an example".
As a web-newbie, you probably find it pretty good (unless you already know Python, of course, then you get irritated on the long-winding and stupid explanations). But if you want a book on how to best utilise and/or use GAE, you'll find some limited information only, in the last half of the book.
In short, wrong title, wrong market, but a good book for the right audience.
