The App Engine That Google Built

This Startpad Countdown is sponsored by:

This month, StartPad presents a talk by Mano Marks, a Developer Programs Engineer at Google. Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve your users. In this talk, Mano Marks will go over the basics of Google App Engine, and walk through creating a sample application.
