Some URLs that I talked about Last Night at the BOF
Here is the URL for the AppEngine book: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596800697/ Here is the URL for my teaching site for the Google Book including some early drafts of the chapters: www.appenginelearn.com Here is the URL for my "Students Instructions for getting Python up and running" that we use across multiple courses at the University of Michigan. www.pythonlearn.com Here is the URL for my nascent Open Source Learning Management System written in Python/AppEngine www.cloudcollab.com Here is the URL for the "inverted learning management system" which uses JavaScript to inject the LMS into any web page that I showed to a few of you toward the end: www.cloudsocial.com Comments welcome. Each of these is in various stages of maturity - mostly these are part time things that play with along with my students. /Chuck Severance www.dr-chuck.com
Thanks for posting all these links! And thanks to all who attended the App Engine BOF at PyCon! I only have some silly nits to add, which are just about what to call the product. First, please never refer to it as "The Google App Engine." It's the product's name, so it's just "Google App Engine." (You don't refer to Python as "the Python" do you? :-) Next, if you can avoid it, don't use the abbreviation "GAE". If you want to be brief, say "App Engine". Finally, I sometimes see people call it "Google Apps Engine." This is a conflation of "Google Apps" (a totally different Google product!) and "App Engine." Finally, if you have a choice, write "App Engine" rather than "AppEngine." --Guido On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 8:26 AM, csev <csev@umich.edu> wrote:

Guido, Thanks for the comments - I edited the web sites using the terminology you suggest below. Thankfully we had already gone through the O'Reilly book with a fine tooth comb and used the exact terminology you suggest below - I just had not gone back and cleaned up my web sites. I have at least one more review of the book before it hits the printers so I will look closely to see if I have any extra "the's" :) /Chuck On Mar 29, 2009, at 11:25 AM, Guido van Rossum wrote:
