Re: [appengine-java] Quick setup and deploy for university class lab time?
One of these codelabs: https://sites.google.com/site/gdevelopercodelabs/app-engine/python-codelab or https://sites.google.com/site/gdevelopercodelabs/app-engine/java-codelab from this site: https://sites.google.com/site/gdevelopercodelabs/ can work well in that time frame, and you could modify it to have a bit more emphasis on using the datastore. If the students don't have a particular familiarity with java, the python version is probably easier to work with in an intro context if the machines are set up for python. (The python codelab has several parts; you would probably only get everyone through the first part, though faster students can work ahead.) -Amy On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 1:43 AM, bsddorin bsddo...@gmail.com wrote: In 3 weeks I have scheduled some lab time for my data structures class.

Re: [appengine-java] Quick setup and deploy for university class lab time?
Can students install Eclipse and run Hello, World on GAE in 3.5 hours? Almost certainly. How much more sophisticated can the sample project get? This is a hard thing to judge without knowing your students. Back when I was a CSc student, data structures was a 200-level class and few (if any) students would have been ready to build a web application (especially since there was no web... but that's beside the point). Maybe students are more savvy today, but my guess is that learning how to develop a GAE app would simply distract from learning data structures.
