Python for Google App Engine
Publisher Link: https://www.packtpub.com/virtualizati...
5/5 - Know Python prior to engaging in this book, no need for the Google App Engine experience though.
The book as others mention creates a basic web application, then you learn more and go back over the content to create a more robust expandable application that uses the previous example. The book uses Google SQL Cloud, however I opted to just keep it on my local machine. Still worth checking it out though despite me not wanting Google to have any more of my data. As for the book itself, it's structured, logical, stays on track, and has a lot of up sides. My favorite part would be utilizing memcache and tracking connections, start seeing some strange stuff well you can now act on it or let customers know that you're experiencing issues and are working to resolve it. I'm also a very huge fan of the MVC pattern, so using modular design was also something that made me fall in love with this book even more.
All in all I would highly recommend this book and can't wait to build up on top of what I've already learned.
