Learn to build scalable apps in Python with Google App Engine
Wednesday, June 3, 2015
Solving the problem of scalability
Imagine that you’ve written an app and it’s successful beyond your dreams. How are you going to handle that wonderful torrent of traffic? Fear not! We’ve published a new
online training course
at Udacity that will teach you all you need to know to build robust scalable applications in Python.
Developing Scalable Apps for Python
is the follow-up course to the
Java version
that we released last summer. Ever since then, people have been clamoring for a Python version of the course. You asked, and we listened.
Created by
Magnus Hyttsten
,
Jocelyn Becker
, and Karl Krueger, the course discusses the core concepts of building scalable apps using
Google App Engine
. You’ll put this knowledge into practice by coding, step by step, an application for easily creating and registering for conferences. Your app will be accessible to both mobile and web clients.
What will you be able to do at the end of this course?
By the end of this course, you will:
Understand how technologies such as Task Queues, Memcache, Edge Caching, and Datastore can be combined to develop an app that scales.
Have built a scalable application with usable real-world functionality from scratch
Sound interesting? Then sign up for the
Python
or
Java
version of the Udacity course.
