For some very 'Hello world'-like examples, Udacity has a nice free course called Deploying Scalable App in Java that will walk you through building a conference-organizing application using some essential App Engine compon

[google-appengine] Re: Client latency performance and time synchronisation

Thank you very much for your comments. It's given me a bit more to think about. I can see how using server time stamps wouldn't work due to latency but I'm not quite sure how to make client time stamps work on a practical level. Let's say for argument sake that the maximum a real person can det

I wrote an app with a similar idea.. Using Go on App Engine.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buzzin.myapplication I ended up going with "first to the server wins" model because I didn't want to trust the the client time (too easy to hack)... For use cases where everyone is on t

Thanks for the interesting question. For starters, you are correct. There will be network latency. Your application will be deployed to the region of your choosing and respond to requests from there. Any HTTP requests bet
