The next App Engine language is going to be Java, but with a limited API, utilizing some kind of translation in the compiler and potentially running on something like Dalvik. They will offer a framework like they do with webapp in Python, but based on Guice.

While at Web 2.0 Expo I had the opportunity to meet with Bungee Labs, a local, well funded Utah company who had “Platform as a Service” down before Google even started thinking about their App Engine. In our meeting they demoed their Bungee Connect “IDE” (written entirely on the web). You can see the video below.

As you’ve no doubt heard already, Google released Google App Engine at the Google Campfire One event last night. Folks, this is a real game changer. Scalability has been the final frontier for web applications for far too long. For web developers like myself, the “building the app” part of offering a web service is the easy part. The challenge comes when you try to scale it.

In my opinion App Engine is a revolution. I’m a programmer. Programming gets me out of bed in the morning. Sysadmin on the other hand, keeps me up at night. I hate tweaking, deploying and installing. If you’re anything like me, App Engine will put your life on easy mode.

It is certainly possible to write in Java, convert with java2python and upload to Google Servers.

I still expect a full java version of GAE.

I had the honor of meeting Tim several years ago during a talk he was giving in London on the Open Source Paradigm Shift. In his talk, Tim predicted the mainstream commoditization of the web. Four years later, we stand as witnesses to the birth of the Commodity Web with Google's release of Google App Engine. (Simon Wardley, recently chronicled this very subject with great eloquence at his keynote speech at XTech.)

Interestingly enough, Google is a recent newcomer to this game: it's app engine launched one month ago. I have heard that it is pretty limiting, but I do not have (for now) experience in working with AWS either.

TinyDB is a new micro database app that allows you to easily get and set data to a URL and then access it again. It supports JSON and XML formats. I really like the concept a lot.

PyAMF 0.3.1 was released this week, just in time to meet the increased interest on Python and RIA generated by the recent preview release of Google App Engine and the announcement of Adobe's Open Screen Project.
PyAMF is an open source project that provides action message format (AMF) support for Python. This allows for AMF-based communication between Python-powered Web servers and rich Internet application (RIA) clients in Flash, Flex or AIR.

Wow, i have deployed several versions of this blog now to update a few things, and am completely blown away at how enjoyable and easy doing deployments with App Engine is.

If you haven't heard of Google App Engine by now, you've probably been living under a rock. I won't try to explain it, or even include any links. Go check out what google has to say about it: it's intriguing, at the very worst.
It's really the first step toward the distributed web as a viable application platform.

This is a follow up on my last post describing missing services for AppEngine. The idea is to help developers writing apps for AppEngine by providing them some common functionality missing and impossible to have on AppEngine and offer them as external services.

Google App Engine is a great product, but it lacks several features. I created few simple services to help GAE developers. Of course services aren't GAE specific, you can use them from any site.
The services are:
Image resizing
Cron service
Comet service
Missing services for Google App Engine (comet as a service!)

This must come from the “They know someth ing we don’t know” department, because Google’s newly announced Google App Engine lets you program in any language you like, as long as it is Python. The new service lets you run your own web applications on Google’s infrastructure, freeing you from maintaining servers and giving you the benefits of Google’s scalability... ahem... as long as your apps are written in Python.

Previous app engine fun resulted in a simple online randomish number generator. This is all well and good but this example didn’t make any use of the webapp framework and, really, don’t the users really deserve twice as many random numbers?
