I am looking for good read-ups for Java programming using app-engine

Question

I am trying to make a website using Java on google app-engine. Can you suggest any good readups to get me up to speed on this?

Answer 1

The first thing to read is of course Google's own overview of Java for App Engine:

• Google code/Google App Engine Java
  • Overview
  • Getting Started
• Google code/YouTube channel
  • Google App Engine - Early Look at Java Language Support
  • Google I/O 2009 - App Engine: Now Serving Java

As far as online step-by-step tutorials, there are several good ones:

• IBM developerWorks/Java Technology/Technical library/
  • Google App Engine for Java: Part 1: Rev it up!
  • Google App Engine for Java, Part 2: Building the killer app
  • Google App Engine for Java: Part 3: Persistence and relationships

If you need to read more, you can buy one of the many books available on the subject:

• Beginning Java Google App Engine, by Kyle Roche, Jeff Douglas (ISBN13: 978-1-4302-2553-9)

Answer 2

I found this free ebook to be very useful with real world code samples.
