These are supporting materials for the O'Reilly book titled
Using Google App Engine.
This book is aimed at people who want to gain skill in web programming in general
and the Google App Engine. The book has been used to support many beginning courses
ranging from High School to College. As such there are chapters on Python, HTML, CSS,
and HTTP. More advanced programmers will likely want to skip over the first
few chapters.
I see Google App Engine as a way for virtually everyone to have their own interactive
software-based web site regardless of their level of programming skills.
Increasingly, web programming will simply need to be a competency like mathematics and this book
is dedicated to teaching everyone about Google App Engine.
You may want to also
download the
App Engine Helper Scripts.
This is a script (one for Mac and one for Windows) that
you put in your apps folder to launch the App Engine.
These scripts simplify setting the paths, etc. There is
a README.txt file in the ZIP describing how to use the
utilities.
