Re: [google-appengine] Re: Powered by Google Technologies
Hello, Michael, is your team available to take on a GWT project that makes use of virtually all Google tools? Kindly let me know.

@Doug - thanks for the positive feedback @Kayode - sounds like an ultimatum - I either make my team available for you or you are going to imitate it? Sounds like a nice approach to doing business :) If you are really interested in the project, email me privately. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

@Jon - thanks again, good feedback! @Tom - Deals Around field is for locations - you can put a Canadian postal code, city, neighborhood. It will not find by deal name. Thanks for the feedback. @Brandon - what did you find? :) Load times for GWT websites are usually slower, especially the first time when u have to download the compressed Javascript (which may be pretty big). However after you have the JS app cached it should be faster. In addition, the App itself uses Ajax and doesn't always cause page reloads, so the experience should be better. @Ethan - I can't give an exact number, but roughly the frontend + backend took a few months.

@Brandon - images such as logos, icons, etc.. are served as statics, from the /resource directory. Images for actual deals are served as blobs due to their dynamic nature (e.g. uploaded by users). It's interesting that you say your static images load faster.. Maybe because you already have them cached locally in your browser? Do you mind sharing a link to your website? @Jon - I actually do that, when browsing from outside of Canada you should get a message and be redirected to the default location (Toronto, Canada). If you didn't see that it means that the Google IP Geocoding didn't work for some reason. I will double check that, thanks for comment!

If you didn't see that it means that the Google IP Geocoding didn't work for some reason. I will double check that, thanks for comment! It took me to Toronto. I then typed US cities and zip codes into the search. I thought the site was broken in the beginning so I drug the map down into the US. After a while I figured out that the site was Canada only. For example if I type in New York, put up an obvious alert banner of some kind that says the service is for Canada only. Or maybe a map overlay that says out of service area. Most internet sites work anywhere in the world so there needs to be some more prompting on geographically limited sites. -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.
