Last week we had a number of excitingannouncements
and we've received a lot of good feedback so far. We've heard from developers who were excited
about cron
support, intrigued by the Google Secure Data Connector
and pleased with database
import. However, most of the excitement has been reserved for the new integrated
development environment which was created through the marriage of Google-Web-Toolkit (GWT), Google App Engine for Java and the Google Plugin for Eclipse. Now not only
can web app developers write both client and server code using the familiar Java language,
they can also share and reuse code between client and server.
I wanted
to capture some real world developer feedback, so as part of our Developer
Profiles series I sat down with Paul
Hammant of ThoughtWorks to
discuss his first impressions with the platform. As Paul continues to tinker with the platform
you can of course follow him on his blog.
If you have a
compelling application that you've written with Google App Engine and GWT I'd like to hear about it.
