Howdy. The source code for Developing with Google App Engine is available on- line. You can download the sources from http://eugeneciurana.com/site.php?page=musings&contentTag=GAE-development.html or directly from the http://bookmarksbin.appspot.com application itself.
A couple of people commented that the user interface for the BookmarksBin sample application for the book is rather plain. That was a design and execution decision. (Screenshot: http://is.gd/ik1F) Writing a book is like any other project: you need to plan, execute, and make compromises along the way. The purpose of the book isn't to show how to build every aspect of a web application to the reader. I was aiming at showing how to use all the Google App Engine features that I could in as concise and complete a manner as possible. The UI doesn't have rounded corners, or snazzy special effects because those are separate topics from App Engine. Instead, I focused on showing how to use the Django templates, and how to set static, dynamic, and client-side scripting files so that someone interested in making a richer UI has the tools (and develops the know-how) to implement it using App Engine features. I'm now working on a new, expanded book about App Engine development that covers client-side integration and development in more detail, including a couple of sections on things like jQuery. Please let me know your suggestions about what kinds of client-side browser features you'd like to see covered in relation to App Engine application development.
