I have three apps running on App Engine, and I must say, the power and the programming model--all the parallel computing, task queues, and async datastore fetches--it's been one of the funnest programming and learning experiences of my career.
It is a very different computing model than I'm used to, and I'm curious to see if and what it will evolve into and if people will get locked-out over time. Consider Java--if you just got into non-cloud Java now, you'd have to learn about all the IoC containers, ORMs, annotations, and the forces behind all of them. I am lucky I got into Java in the beginning, so I could grow with all that stuff. Back then, Microsoft's COM+ was the fuzzy haze I was technically locked-out of. Again, I'm glad to get in early on cloud computing and Google's flavor of it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
