Andy (and others) Thanks for the info.
First... what is a uber-lazy OP? Second... it sounds like the GAE is a program that runs on the server... and the developer creates server side apps using the python language... and Google provides an SDK that you can download and run locally during development... ... kinda like running IIS on your XP Pro PC to develope ASP apps... ... or like running Apache locally while developing server side applications using PHP... Where can I see some Google App Engine online examples? Can you put them on your Google Sites page or on your web page at any host or are they only avalable as Gadgets on Google Apps? Thanks again for all the quick start help folks... multi-tasking here so limited time to chase all this stuff down on the net... and that is the great thing about online-fourms... where users can help users :) ===== On Aug 27, 6:27 am, "Andrew Badera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But that's not what the uber-lazy OP is asking. > > OP, just to silence this thread already, no, clients don't download > anything.
