Hi, We've been working on making a tool to help make it easier and faster to develop for App Engine -- it's called CoderBuddy. People can create, edit, test and publish Python applications and static web sites in their browser, without having to download or install anything.
It's currently in private beta, and we'd love to invite members of the group to try developing with it. We have 100 new accounts available at: https://coderbuddy1.appspot.com/testinggae Oh, and yes, it's free, even for commercial projects. There's a basic code editor and also an HTML editor built in. We also have a new tabbed code editor available with keyboard shortcuts (New Editor Beta), which we're working on. We'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts. We hope that this initial functionality will be helpful for developing side-projects and for new developers, and look forward to improving it based on your feedback. Thank you, Adrian CEO, Founder CoderBuddy [ Founding investor, Napster; Founder, social networking pioneer Ryze ] P.S. We're also interested in hearing from people who are teaching programming (and App Engine) in workshops and meetups, as we've been testing it out in those environments and experiencing some nice successes. We have a few extra little features we can enable for folks who'd like to use it in those contexts. Additionally, we'd welcome hearing from folks who'd like us to provide Java and/or Go support about any special features they'd like to see. -- Adrian Scott, Ph.D. CEO, Founder CoderBuddy http://www.coderbuddy.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
