End of the Year Developer Roundup
Friday, December 5, 2008
Posted by Marzia Niccolai, App Engine Team
As 2008 draws to a close, it's time for the last developer roundup of the year. In the spirit of the season, and inspired by
Giftag.com
, I've put together my App Engine Holiday Wish list:
1. A Geo-located Social Jukebox
Sure I can put together a list of
songs I like
, find out what movies are
now playing
by me, and always
know where I'm going
, but where's the application that lets me list songs for my friends to listen to around San Francisco? I'm really looking forward to this and other ideas being written for App Engine, so in the new year I can let everyone know I love to listen to "
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
" on the Golden Gate Bridge.
2. More Python
Right now, I can
back up my App Engine datastore to a MySQL database
,
debug my Python applications in firebug
, and
stay on top of all my twitters
with App Engine. But I do love to flex my Python muscles, so I'm hoping more people contribute to our
Open Source projects page
.
3. A Good Read
While I get a chapter-by-chapter update of the
O'Reilly App Engine book
, peruse the alpha version of
Developing with Google App Engine
, and read about
App Engine in Action
, I still find myself looking for more good reading material. I'd love to see our developers contribute more articles to our documentation, so if you're a Hemingway in the making, let us know and we can show you how to contribute an article.
4. Interesting Conversation
After several
App Engine Chat times
, and some great discussion in
our forum
, I just can't get enough. Next year I'm looking forward to some more stimulating conversation with our App Engine developers!
