Google AppEngine – Fuuqof
I thought I’d post about my first foray into the whole cloud ‘computing’. I kicked off with a simple demo app I wrote for the Google AppEngine called ‘Fuuqof‘. Its basically just a guest book type app where you can enter an anonymous message with some swear words being translated into more digestible colloquialisms 
The whole process was really straight forward, the development turn around for such a simple app is of course ridiculously low, but what was great was the fact that there wasn’t too much ‘mind-bending’. In other words, you develop as though you would with django, with some minor changes to your data models and the URL mapping (which is done by AppEngine using a Yaml file).
You can check out the 5 minute intro on YouTube to get a feel for how straightforward the whole process is:
