@ Brandon That was a bit harsh. A little bit.
@ jobber: There's jQuery datepicker for a quick calendar widget, and Google Maps API. For maps, you have to be careful about quota. You have limits as to how many requests you can make per day, so as your user base grows, you'll reach a point where you'd have to shell out lots of money to keep up with the traffic. (I've never been in that position, so if anyone knows better, do correct me by all means.) >From your description, it doesn't seem like such a difficult thing to implement, if that's ALL you're planning. On the other hand, if you're looking for a quick score as Brandon suspects, you might get better results by using Drupal and some modules. I'm sure there are calendar modules and things like that. With a bit of effort, you might even convince a blog engine to do the work for you (for example, posts would be events, and you'd add a calendar widget that would make the browser load all posts for a specified date, and that'd be your listing). Depending on the level of control you (don't) want over the process, GAE might not necessarily be the best solution for you.
