[google-appengine] CoderBuddy invite -- Web-based development and publishing apps & static sites to App Engine

2011-06-22 Thread Adrian Scott
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

[ 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.

2011-06-22 Thread Adrian Scott
Very cool, thanks!

When we did some App Engine workshops before we had this available
ourselves, we lost a good part of the first hour or so trying to get the
different attendees' laptops configured with the SDK.

We'd be happy to try to support you online when you have the workshop, feel
free to keep in contact directly as it gets closer. Note that people can add
others as developers on the apps for somewhat collaborative development. We
also have a simple 'group' homepage we could possibly enable for your
workshop (which has links to all of the group member profile pages, and
helps them keep in contact ongoing).

Re: [google-appengine] Google APPs Engine projects with team work

2011-06-23 Thread Adrian Scott
Hi Ahmed,

One option is to use our new web-based environment for collaborative
development, testing and publishing, CoderBuddy. We have a few more preview
accounts available at:

  https://coderbuddy1.appspot.com/testinggae

(CoderBuddy is free to use for commercial and non-commercial projects.)

The collaboration is rather simple right now, but we do have groups using it
for development, as well as ourselves. You can see what files have been
updated most recently and by whom. We don't yet have clone/merge
capabilities but are looking at that for the future. If each of your team is
developing a different part of the project that can work pretty well with
our existing set-up.

I hope this option helps -- feel free to drop me a note with any questions,
feature requests, etc.

-Adrian

2011-06-23 Thread Adrian Scott
Valid point. We have little desire to reinvent it. Easiest way for us to
develop MVP running on GAE was through something simple.

We're looking primarily at Git for that piece (hopefully Bram Cohen will
still be my friend). Further recommendations and suggestions are welcome
(probably best directly to me, off-list :).

Re: [google-appengine] Mass mailing: task queue vs BCC field

2011-06-25 Thread Adrian Scott
Recommend using a 3rd-party mailing solution like Sendgrid.com or Amazon's
new service to get some decent deliverability (possibly Mailgun is another
option). App Engine is not really trying to be a solution for this yet,
imho.

I've used bcc constructs for newsgroup-post-publication style notifications
(for ryze.com), but generally prefer generating individual msgs.

Take a look at Facebook's From address structure sometime too for amusement,
if you haven't already.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: DKIM support and gmail -- now it's urgent!

2011-06-29 Thread Adrian Scott
+1 on the Amazon SES suggestion. I would rather the App Engine  team focus
on other priorities than mail, imho. Just DKIM is only part of the solution
needed for getting mail deliverability humming... Then Sendgrid, Mailgun or
something when you have a bit more volume or want more stats etc.

I share your concern, Thomas... It is also worth comparing the performance
of an early stage (#1 in your list) non-optimized app at low volumes on an
AWS box versus on GAE (e.g. pageload time)... something to think about, no?

Re: [google-appengine] Idle instances and pending latency management advice

2011-11-07 Thread Adrian Scott
I dropped ours from 3 to 2 minimum idle instances, and saw significant drop
in daily cost.

7-9 user requests per minute shouldn't be too much of a hit (depending on
how much time is used to serve them and the background tasks they spawn of
course)...

[google-appengine] Create a Facebook App on GAE in a minute, new release from CoderBuddy

2011-11-08 Thread Adrian Scott
Hi guys,

We've just released a new starter app that helps you create a Facebook App
in a minute on Google App Engine (on CoderBuddy, the free, social web IDE).

We've written up quick, detailed instructions to help you with the
configuration on Facebook's Dev site as well. You can check it all out here
at:


http://coderbuddyblog.com/lose-your-facebook-app-virginity-create-one-i


I warmly welcome any feedback, thoughts, suggestions, etc. Note that if you
want to get developers using your own API's or tech... or create GAE and/or
Python tutorials, you can set up a starter app like this yourself --
because we now have a Copy Project feature (which we used for this). I'd
been meaning to develop some Facebook Apps for a while, and this is a quick
way to get started and then iterate it into your own idea...

Thanks,
-A

Re: [google-appengine] Twitter Library

If you want to make the app on CoderBuddy public (Project Settings) and
post the project url, we can take a look at the code there. Or you could
add me as a developer ( username: adrian ), and I'll see if I can spot the
error/debug.

Thanks! Cool stuff -- this might be the first tweepy on CoderBuddy,

Re: [google-appengine] Image upload

2011-11-12 Thread Adrian Scott
We have sample code for uploading an image in our open-source
adrianremembersme-django project (though this is not using GWT).

To use the latest version of it, just create a project on CoderBuddy using
the Starting Content options of "Guestbook App - Adrian Remembers Me -
Django" or ""Adrian Remembers Me - Django". The upload image code is used
to store a person's profile photo. You can customize from there.  (After
you create your first project, you'll have these Starting Content options
in the second project.)

Hope this helps -- enjoy,

I agree, completely...

well almost completely... Keep the current basic email to help newbies play
and test, but minimize devoting any further significant resources and
possibly relabel that api as beta/experimental or at least as not destined
to receive lots of attention right away, to be up front about it. It's a
non-trivial, high-nuisance service to provide/maintain.

Re: [google-appengine] URGENT: google checkout for usage i dont know where it comes from.

2011-11-15 Thread Adrian Scott
Also, we should be able to turn off current/future billing even if Google's
system is in the process of charging a new card. I submitted an updated
credit card yesterday for a payment that didn't go through, but it will not
let me disable billing on an old app yesterday or today..., so I'm being
billed against my will. An extra $0.30 one-time fee is not a big deal to
me, but it would be good to get that interface fixed.

The current situation must violate some law too, imho.

You can cancel a subscription from Google Checkout -- I just did for an old
account. If you only have apps billing that you want to turn off, maybe
that's an option for you guys...

Still, the interface should allow it on a per-app level, not a binary
whole-account level...

Re: [google-appengine] Re: What is the better way to deal with static images/icons? Blobstore or ?

2011-11-29 Thread Adrian Scott
Also, if you deploy them as static files in your application, GAE handles
them differently and they will likely load faster for your users than from
the Blobstore, somewhat like a CDN.

So Blobstore is better for user-generated and/or other dynamic/changing
content.

Hope this helps,

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Doom day

2011-12-03 Thread Adrian Scott
We're simply not going to 2.7 until it's no longer experimental. It's that
simple. We're doing enough other stuff that's experimental etc. It would
have made sense for Google to extend the 50% discount til one month after
2.7 leaving experimental, imho, and that would have created a nice little
incentive to the google team, and also better relationships with developers
after all that has gone on recently.

We're doing a bit of optimization as we go along, but putting a hefty
priority on improving functionality and ease of use over just minimizing
expense.

[google-appengine] Google Analytics support team can't access my GAE app ;)

2009-07-22 Thread Adrian Scott . com

Having a pretty hilarious experience here.

Trying to get my lost google analytics account recovered for a site
now running on google app engine.

I put in the analytics reset code url they wanted for verification /
validation, but the support rep says he can't load that url or even my
home page.

Whereas I can in multiple browsers, so can other people, so can my 3rd-
party monitoring service from a dozen locations, etc. The rep says
he's tried it w/ 3 browsers through 3 isps.

Pretty hilarious. Anyone else experience anything like this?

[google-appengine] Re: IBM DB2 and App Engine

2009-02-12 Thread Adrian Scott . com

Hi!

Sounds like you need some connection to your existing DB2 database on
your own servers.

I would expect you would need to make the connection from your google
app engine web application through HTTP w/ SSL. So you could do it
that way, but probably not over the standard DB2 networking, at least
for the near future.


Hope this helps!

[google-appengine] how to stop local gae web dev server?

2009-02-13 Thread Adrian Scott . com

Hi,

Is there any way to stop the local GAE web dev server, aside from
killing the job?

I'm on Windows using cmd.exe command window...

Same goes for trying manage.py runserver  for app-engine-patch
django...

thanks!!

[google-appengine] app-engine-patch startup errors; help with getting started

2009-02-13 Thread Adrian Scott . com

trying manage.py runserver

lots of startup errors including on .po files within locale 'msgfmt'
is not recognized as an internal or external command

also WARNING: root:Could not read datastore data from ... \django-aep-
sample.datastore


--
other thing:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#intro-tutorial01

speaks about a mysite directory. i don't see such a dir. just a myapp
dir... should we use that one to do:

python manage.py startapp polls


"Most manage.py commands just work (runserver, test, flush, ...), so
you should be in a familiar environment. " is where the getting
started docs leave me... but i'm just starting w/ django, so it's not
a familiar environment. not sure what to do where to go next...

anyone else having this little challenge? :)

[google-appengine] new Open source proj -- for login, remember me, security, usability functionality -- adrian remembers

2009-03-16 Thread Adrian Scott . com

Get your app started very quickly with this free code... for
membership capability



http://www.adrianremembersme.com/


Version 0.1.1 currently offers basic login, remember me functionality
( + photo upload for profile )

Attempting to follow and encode best practices for cookies, security,
etc. Let's stop re-inventing the wheel ;)


On the roadmap -- advanced security features (e.g. handling when
someone's trying to hack a pwd, save yourself! from Twitter's recent
celeb hack embarassment), usability enhancements (ooh  aah)


Please come and Kick the Tires... and tell us what you really think!


http://www.adrianremembersme.com/

http://code.google.com/p/adrianremembersme/

http://adrianremembersme.appspot.com/


recruiting developers, soon will be posting bounties for little
upgrades... great code for new developers to start poking around with!

---
i couldn't find anything else that really provided all this in one
bundle, according to most current best practices, etc. we can put
together a django version of this at some point too...

[google-appengine] basic login functionality; jump-start your next app quickly; 'adrian remembers me' upgrade 0.1.4 released

2009-03-18 Thread Adrian Scott . com


having fun in a variety of areas:

 - email validation, the rabbit hole gets deeper; put some initial
validation in place, want to revisit later/soon for a better/more
complete solution(s)

 - i think the 'remember me' cookie design is reasonably elegant,
though could be worth sprucing up a little; check out how we
implemented (2 good links to other writings on the topic on the code
homepage below)


looking forward to getting to:

 - the issue of funny unicode characters in usernames --- cookie
interactions. whee!



inching forward here steadily, several features put into place with
new 0.1.4 version:

checks for valid email address,
minimum password length,
username not already used,
email not already used,
logs in new member when they create membership,
...

the code is coming together nicely.

use this code to jumpstart your next app (or tell me why it wouldn't
be of use to you ;)


check it out and let me know what your biggest needs are!

thanks,
adrian

Thanks for the question.

It's built over an independent authentication system, so you have an
independent user base from google, for enhanced portability,
independence, etc.

[google-appengine] Re: Sample based on non google accounts

2009-03-20 Thread Adrian Scott . com

i looked at django user authentication and was not very excited by it.

so i created this:

 http://www.adrianremembersme.com/

i found the django user auth more oriented towards site content
maintainers than building a app w/ significant membership (e.g. no
remember me etc).

(note that what i've done can be rolled into django etc)

[google-appengine] Multilingual i18n -- django, any problems w/ it? roll your own?

2009-03-20 Thread Adrian Scott . com

Hi, i'm looking at doing i18n / multilingual  for my apps.


For those using Django, have you run into any problems w/ Django's
approach? or any stuff that just seems weird etc?

For others doing i18n / multilingual, what approaches have you been
taking and what factors have influenced you or been most important to
you.

Been looking at Django i18n ( http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/
), but it just seems weird to me...


http://code.google.com/p/adrianremembersme/source/browse/trunk/main.py


Any links to any write-ups on this topic would be much-appreciated
also. I've done a bit of research, but haven't found a lot of
illuminating info...

Thanks!

[google-appengine] Re: Downside of the Google App Engine relying on Google Apps - Horror Story

2009-03-20 Thread Adrian Scott . com

Thanks for posting about this Eaden. This is extremely useful info.

I am not clear on why we should have to rely on Google Apps for domain
pointing.

We also need some capability for redundancy of some sort. What is
currently possible for redundancy, assuming something goes bad with
google apps?

E.g. Could we change DNS to fwd to blah.appspot.com -- was that doable
in your case?


Which brings up another point, for remember me logins, should we set
cookies for both x.appspot.com and x.com? Sounds like it. (Another
feature to add to http://www.adrianremembersme.com/ ... )

This is extremely critical, so let's figure out some best practices
for people to follow.



Anyone who's had a popular site that includes an invite member
capability knows how many spam reports are received... so this may be
a nice band-aid and step forward, but a comprehensive system for
redundancy is needed...
