Hey Ikai, Great to hear that. We all know how hard it is to see something through someone else's eyes when you know it so well yourself.
I think that when learning something from scratch like this it's good to try and strike a balance between just following tutorials blindly, and doing your own investigation and learning. Sometimes I find that I can accomplish a lot with tutorials, but then discover that they were teaching me to work a certain way that wasn't so clear at the time. On the flipside, throwing yourself in at the deep end without guidance can be a waste of time too. If I hadn't created this thread I would probably be spending this week learning JDO instead of studying the datastore, just because the tutorial introduces JDO, which is understandable, as a beginner's tutorial doesn't need to be confusing people with third party libraries and so on. For me, knowing what choices are available is key, as I can then work out which are best for me before going down any blind alleys. The guide sounds like a great idea - perhaps it could branch off in particular directions depending on the type of app the user is creating? I know that some of the above suggestions are not for me (ultra-high traffic levels are unlike to be a problem for instance) as the app is only for internal use and numbers will be in the tens to hundreds. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
