Google App Engine Pricing compared to Visual Studio

 It  appears that Visual Studio is a much better price.

Here are the pricing for Visual Studio from
Express versions: Free for any number of executable, infinitely scalable for no additional cost, which for the Google App Engine isn’t a component of the free component.

And what the use of Java?  Ok, we all write Java, but who owns Java?  Who owns C#?

Java is owned by Oracle Corporation, and they have proven this by their legal suit against Google, so this means that you can’t use Java with confidence that google will maintain Java forever.  There are no specifications for Java, Oracle can do what they want with it.

Who owns C#?  No one, it is a specification based language just like C++, C, and ECMAScript.
Y
ou decide.  But you can use C# for no cost and you can scale your application infinitely for no cost.
Sounds like C# is the better deal. For complete story check here

Hands On: Google App Engine [GAE]

Hey,

I'm Earlence Fernandes. I'm a software engineer working in Pune on several Google technologies like Android and GAE to name a few. Prof. Ravindra Dastikop has requested me to blog about Google App Engine here, so thats what I'll be doing :)

This post is named as "Hands On" because I advocate the Hands On process of learning and I'm a Hands On guy also. I find that to cope with the numerous technologies out there today, this approach is best suited.

I will be posting a small intro to GAE in sometime, till then, I suggest that you do a little digging of your own to find out more about the topic. Remember, "Hands On".

So, till the next post.....

Cheers,
Earlence
