Google Application Engine

We had a hand in building a simple data base application using Google Application Engine. First off, it is built in Python, our favorite programming language. Second, it uses pretty much same good practices of web programming; URL matching and staging.

In few hours from knowing nothing about it, it was an experience of how good programming practices are used throughout top web programmers. So, it was easy. For those who have not done serious web programming, ways of Google Application Engine look strange. But worry not as they are practices from how to scale to very large web traffic.

For example, you can write versions of the same application and launch a version safely or reuse old one when newer one is not working correctly. There is a data base system which you can import and export with query language. Name space is nicely done and programming is well organized.

We praise Google for making another useful application and will probably use it to launch high traffic application without building whole immense server farm.
