If you have never done coding before, I would vote for python.
For me atleast the Elcipse IDE is a Pain in the butt. Python, I edit little files in Notepad++ and run AppCFG.Py and my app does it's thing. With Eclipse it is constantly complaining that a file got update, or I didn't put a library somewhere, and the dumb thing constantly wants to update itself to versions that aren't compatible with GAE. But I like MS-DOS, and Notepad++ which may not make me a typical user. -Brandon From: google-appengine@googlegroups.com [mailto:google-appengine@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brian Williams Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 11:14 AM To: google-appengine@googlegroups.com Subject: [google-appengine] Best to use on app engine- Java or Python (newbie!!) Hi. Have posted on here before trying to get some one elses code working and have been unable to understand it completely. So am biting the bullet and considering creating program i require myself. Question is which language to use. Bearing in mind I am new to both and going to start to work with Eclipse soon. The job i need app engine to do is to receive information from a smart phone app (currently andriod built with app inventor) and email information to recipient securely then delete and stored information. I also need to create a database which the phone apps can query and update/ pull information from. As the project feels like an evolving creature I hatched from an egg I want to understand everything it does as much as possible. Has anyone out there got any good advice for me please? Thank you.
