http://www.jessirae.com/blog/articles/2009/01/02/google-app-engine en-us 40 <p>I don&#8217;t <em>do</em> python&#8230; yet, at least. :) Settle down; I&#8217;ve got it on my to-do list.</p> <p>But wanting to see what Google App Engine was all about, I downloaded the sdk and signed up for an account.</p> <p><img src="http://jessirae.com/blog/files/GAE.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>In the app.yaml file&#8212;where you can specify the version of the application and other meta information about your application, I noticed that a <em>runtime</em> can also be specified and by default it is set to python. The <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/gettingstarted/helloworld.html">documentation for Google App Engine</a> notes that&#8230;</p> <blockquote> <p>This code runs in the python runtime environment, version &#8220;1&#8221;. Additional runtime environments and languages may be supported in the future.</p> </blockquote> <p>So, for those of you who don&#8217;t <em>do</em> python either&#8230; there&#8217;s hope. Or you could do something quiet strange, like <a href="http://hackety.org/2008/05/05/sneakingRubyThroughGoogleAppEngine.html">this</a>! Yikes!</p> <p>Another interesting tidbit is that some subset of <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/django.html">Django</a> is included with Google App Engine. Let&#8217;s play.</p> Fri, 02 Jan 2009 01:04:00 -0600 urn:uuid:3b3b4088-f649-43b5-b4ea-bf06f699fea3 Jessica http://www.jessirae.com/blog/articles/2009/01/02/google-app-engine technology django python engine app google http://www.jessirae.com/blog/articles/trackback/12771
