Google today launched the preview release of Google App Engine. Just a few minutes after I read about it in the official declaration, and learning that only 10,000 developers only would get to signup for time-being, I rushed to signup page only to know that signups were no longer available. Determined not to lose this time (I got my first gmail account after 1 year of its release in absence of invitations) I tried signing in using google ids of each of my family members and my Google Apps account and at last was surprised to see before me the title “Welcome to Google App Engine” with a button saying “Create an Application”

So now I am a proud owner of a limited-users preview account on Google App Engine. Since I am not much conversant with Python, which I tried learning a ouple of years back while working on Zope and Plone, my first application on Google App Engine is going to happen much sooner but at least I could start and so I went ahead with adding an application.

More on this next time…
