Reviews on Google's App Engine from Software Pioneers

There is a round of buzz going on with Google's latest application for software developers. It has been named "Google App Engine" and it provides a platform to the developers in running their web applications.

After this development, the software pioneers have started analyzing it. There will be an environment of reviews and feedbacks for this latest technology innovation from Google.

Dave Wineris one of the software pioneer, knows about disruptive technology. Here is a small para what Dave had to say about google App Engine,

"Now, what Google announced is really exciting! I'm not kidding. It's even better than I hoped. Yes, it's only Python, but IBM's PC-DOS was only BASIC and Pascal when it first came out, and it didn't matter. Yeah, I preferred C, but I coded in Pascal because that's what you had to do to get an app running. What you're going to see here that you've never seen before is shrinkwrap net apps that scale that can be deployed by civillians. That's a mouthful, but that's what's coming. Why? Because here is a standardized platform that can be stamped out in the billions of units. Maybe Google can't do it, but the perception is that they can. Who is willing to stand up and say Google hasn't nailed scaling? What PCs did in the 80s, Google is doing now. PCs took the black magic out of owning a computer. Now Google is taking the black magic out of operating a scalable web app. Python is the new BASIC. "

According to Marshall Kirkpatrick of ReadWrite :

"The point is, Google App Engine may be neither competitive nor monopolistic - it might just be trivial as Google Pages or Google Base. So far it seems pretty simple and useful, though. We'll have to take a deep breath, hope that Amazon and others step up their offerings a notch or two in response, and see what the future brings.


However, the applications developed by Google have been well accepted by the various industries till now. No matter what stir the responses would create but the software professionals are sure to get help from Google's App Engine.
