The change in mindset needed for GAE

Zed Shaw's take on GAE is entertaining.

Now this is very cute :

[(f.title,f.key()) 
    for f in db.GqlQuery("select * from Film order by title")]

See that? A GQL (query language for GAE) query object automatically supports iteration, so you can use it in a list comprehension.

OK ... better start finding out about Google App. Engine

Damn! Don't think I was in the first 10,000 applicants for a beta ... got the downloadable development environment though ... watch this space ...

Update : Actually, I did get one ... :-)
