Scrapping the project… Sorry Google App Engine
I have decided to put my filesharing project on a hold for now…
The problem with the whole idea is that Google App Engine don’t allow me to handle data requests larger that 1 MB without going through the Blobstore interface. This would be now big problem for me except the fact that to use the Blobstore API my account should enable billing. The… Setup… Process… Of… Billing… And… Quotas… Is… Long… And… Hard… Geez! There are various (personal as well as non-personal) reasons that I just don’t feel like enabling billing on my Google App Engine account just yet…
So for now – this project has been shelved – at least for the Google App Engine platform – I am (as you would guess) still keen on the whole idea and will look into a more traditional development environment ASAP.
Simple fileshare service – proof of concept
I’ve just concluded my proof of concept tests with Google App Engine (Java version) – and so far I’m happy!
I am writing a simple file-sharing service – I tend to use the term ‘drop-box’ a lot when explaining about it. The concept has now been proven (sending e-mails back and forth – log-in – upload – storage etc.) so now I am looking for some cool graphics/icons on iconfinder to make it look good.
I will post a more thorough description of the application – with links – as soon as I’m done with the first public version.
Ready, set, Go!
I’m currently experimenting with Go.
I would really recommend anyone who takes programming seriously to have a look at it. What I’ve seen so far is very nice. I mean VERY nice.
The concept and idea behind the language (we need a new systems programming language) is very good – I’m sure this will be big! And those of you caring about size and speed – well – go manage your own memory!
