Google App Engine

One month after I started writing my first Google App Application I had reached more then 1000 Page View per one day!!!



One of the great advanatges of GAE over creating my own Web Server is that robutness of Google servers, My application is up 100% of the time, And after writing the application in correct way without consuming too much CPU per request and handling exceptions the application can be used anytime by the users.



The question is what would happen when GAE would support also Java, I realy don't know how I would be able to convert my application from Python to Java

Google App Engine in Java Language

As A Java Developer it is very hard to use Google App Engine.
As for now Google App Engine supports only Python Programming language, Trying learning and writing Python languages can be very frustrating when you are used to the good pleasing Eclipse IDE.

Then I found this nice project:

You can write you Google App Engine Application in Java Language and then just convert it to Python and upload it to Google Servers!!!

Enjoy

Google App Engine and GWT

First there was GWT - Google Web Toolkit a very nice framework to develop Ajax applications in Java language which then translate to JavaScript, It worked with Tomcat Web Server. Then Google decide to release Google App Engine a service which provide the ability to develop applications in Python language and deploy them on their servers for free and provide datastore which is like DB to store data.

It seems like their is no syncrhonization at all with the two groups GWT and Google App Engine, once Google goes for Java and then for Python, Is there any direction to which Google wants to go to?

In their website they claim that they choosed Pyhton because it is secure language, There is no more secure lagnuage than Java, How would GWT developers would deploy their applications on Google App Engine, would they need now to convert their code to Python? I really confused

Java becoming old?

Some "experts" claiming that Java becoming old and that it would reach it's end in a few years,
Some of these "experts" claim that java would end as Cobol, and new technologies would be adopted such as "Ruby On Rails", PHP and Ajax.

I completely disagree with this statements, First of Cobol is still one of the most common software programming languages. Beside that other new technologies such as Ruby still doesn't mature - we've tried several projects with it and have reverted to Java.
PHP is cool, but doesn't scale as well as Java for large user base applications.
AJAX -is like Javascript and CSS; It intended to be used with JSP/ASP/HTML etc.
Java still is the best choice - by far - for development. It runs on virtually any platform and doesn't lock you in to one OS vendor or flavor. It works, and it's fast. It's a great tool for back-end and web development. Yes, it's not the newest kid on the block, and frankly that doesn't matter much - It has solid performance and results pretty well in production
