I am new to GAE.. but a pretty good developer otherwise. On Both iPHONE and ANDROID native. I was planning on doing a Web based Tutorial system in php, but I am thinking of doing it on GAE instead. SO, I am interested in getting some feed back from experienced GAE developers that can give me some food for thought.
The Model is pretty traditional. A paid subscription model. $20/month, and you can watch everything on the site. There are 1 month, 3 month and 6 month plans, after which the Subscription recharges the account for another x months. The subscriptions are basically selling a ROLE. There are several ROLES, Premium roles get more sophisticated web pages, and have some other abilities as well... The lessons will be very short, well documented with sample code, and 1 or more videos. The Each lesson is its own page. Lessons are Stringed together to make full Subjects. Multiple Subjects make a class... ROLES grant access to the Lessons, which are tagged for specific roles. BASIC Role are un-athenticated users get to see level 1 Pages, which include minimal documentation. PLATINUM ROLE grants full access to all of the lessons. I would like to do the entire system in JAVA, as oppose to Python. So I am looking for some JAVA frameworks for web development. Just FYI... the current system I am doing in in DRUPAL, which is perfect, except that I want to move everything I am doing to GAE. QUESTIONS... 1... Is there an existing FRAMEWORK that I would be looking at that incorporates this kind of logic? Something that will get me some of this functionality now? 2... Where should I safely store the VIdeos? I was thinking Google Cloud Store. But the Videos are only about 4 minutes long, so would putting them in Data store be an option? 3... Is there a payment method that I should be looking at that is already well tested and can handle this solution? 4... I like the Twitter boot strap framework a lot... not 100% committed, but are there alternatives that use JAVA for the client end that I should be looking at for this kind of project? 5... Any other thoughts that people would like to add to this project will be very appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
