Google provides a big step up for web development with Google App Engine

Check out Google App Engine – Preview Release

http://code.google.com/appengine/

Nice how all the backend setup is handled.  Hardware, database, users, email, url fetching.  Even scalability.  This is huge.

I got the SDK and can start developing locally.  I was too slow for the “Preview Release”.  Missed the 10,000 developer cut off.  Google’s run at a web app platform will be a hit, if it isn’t already.  This thing will be huge.  Time to get into Python again, maybe Django too (FAQ says it was included in the SDK install already).

I installed the SDK.  Made the “Hello, world!” app (link below).  It worked.  Sweet.  Nice start.
