App Engine to rescue

The idea of some one else worrying about the scalability of your application is very appealing and that brings me to Google App Engine. I know that even though App Engine is going to do heavy lifting in terms of running and maintaining the servers & databases (read 'BigTable'), a developer needs to make right and informed decisions regarding creating data model, using appropriate caching mechanism and following many other software design principles.

This is why I am starting this blog where I would be writing down my experiences with App Engine as I learn and play with it.

I have always believed that the best way to learn a language and/or software technology is create a not-so-simple-but-no-so-complex project and that is what I intend to do here.
