OK, so it's not all google (MonoTouch for the iPhone part, Python App Engine for the backend).<br /><br />I found GAE to be lovely to develop in. I've done a small app about 18 months ago, but other than that I've dont done any python at all.<br /><br />Performance, so far, is great. I need to check the docs on the best way to update a load of records in one go (it's taking about 20 seconds for 350 rows), but other than that....<br /><br />Thanks for GAE - loving using it.Nic Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097972890048925556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501956666581132164.post-54286129122291437152010-08-10T07:26:22.209-07:002010-08-10T07:26:22.209-07:00We have also developed a GPS App for iPhone/Androi...We have also developed a GPS App for iPhone/Android with 100% Google Technologies (<a href="http://m.geotako.com" rel="nofollow">m.geotako.com</a>):<br /><br />Technical Info:<br />- Back-end using Google AppEngine cloud infrastructure<br />- Front-end using Google Web Toolkit which can run on both iPhone Safari and Android Chrome (also other desktop browsers)<br />- GWT based internationalization<br />- Integrated with Facebook Connect for wall posting<br />- Using Google Maps API for reverse geocoding (retrieve your address automatically when you add a new location)<br />- HTML5 based Geolocation for tracking your location with GPS<br />- HTML5 based Web Database for storing local information in the browser<br /><br />Features:<br />- Discover interesting locations around you with beautiful photos<br />- Share your journey with friends by checking-in to locations around you<br />- Grabbing mayorship of a location when you checkin frequently<br />- Post to Facebook wall when you checkin <br />- Locate where your friends have been to<br />- Add new locations with photos<br />- A ranking showing the top travelers with the highest number of mayorships<br />- Support English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese<br /><br />You may try it here: <a href="http://m.geotako.com" rel="nofollow">m.geotako.com</a><br /><br />The app can also be found in <a href="http://appgallery.appspot.com/about_app?app_id=agphcHBnYWxsZXJ5chQLEgxBcHBsaWNhdGlvbnMYzeFDDA" rel="nofollow">Google App Engine Applications Gallery </a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234579850990337597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501956666581132164.post-67912400516283776032010-08-10T07:18:45.314-07:002010-08-10T07:18:45.314-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234579850990337597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501956666581132164.post-20898414549951722712010-08-06T23:56:55.138-07:002010-08-06T23:56:55.138-07:00@alts: Agree.

It is initially hard to get to terms with the guidelines, when coming from relational-db background to Google App Engine.<br /><br />I work on a tool which intends to make it easy to have a database app running over GAE, without having to worry about the back-end issues.<br /><br />One can build customizable database apps online using <a href="http://creator.ifreetools.com" rel="nofollow">iFreeTools Creator</a>, without having to worry finer details.<br /><br />Check out this walk-through on building database apps online :<br /><a href="http://blogs.ifreetools.com/2010/01/build-apps-online-over-google-app.html" rel="nofollow">Build Apps Online, over Google App Engine, using iFreeTools Creator</a>Rajkumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461535061120744975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501956666581132164.post-73983930823384142492010-08-05T14:15:59.894-07:002010-08-05T14:15:59.894-07:00It's nice to use GAE with simple project and s...It's nice to use GAE with simple project and simple structures. But if you are going to use reference properties in DB etc. then you will soon find yourself scratching your head because with every 100 additional records your query will grow 1 sec.. until you reach your 30 sec deadline and you are doomed.<br /><br />My point is that GAE team should educate us better how NOT to think like Relational-DB guys. Otherwise there will be only toy project success stories.Alt-Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18087658630927028974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501956666581132164.post-17338167311776016722010-08-05T11:16:41.045-07:002010-08-05T11:16:41.045-07:00Great Work!Great Work!Jim Ramiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162318240817380657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501956666581132164.post-11904950466891719662010-08-05T06:11:02.400-07:002010-08-05T06:11:02.400-07:00Inspiring story.
