Google App Engine Integration With AI #109

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
There should be a much more seamless process between developing in AI and 
making cool things in Google App Engine. I would love to host all our companies 
gadgets, widgets, and apps in Google App Engine but it seems too complicated. 
When I changed the service location of TinyWebDB pointing to an App Engine App 
from http to https it worked fine still. So security is already integrated it 
seems.

I know how to use the drag and drop app creators like Widgetbox and even Google 
Gadgets. What would be nice is if all that was packaged under Google App 
Engine. My IT team is warning me that hosting the functionality on our severs 
could cause some serious issues. This could bring more hosting business to App 
Engine.

Maybe some of the more advanced functionality that people want in App Inventor 
is produced and hosted in App Engine. Maybe there could be a version of App 
Engine that is drag and drop so guys like me can make cool stuff that interacts 
with other web apps and android apps. I really hope the community thinks this 
is a great idea. 

I would like to click a button on one of my Google Gadgets that says "Move To 
App Engine" and then it allows me to access the gadget/widget/app etc. from AI. 
That would be really awesome!

This is an interesting idea! To be honest, it is probably beyond the scope of 
the App Inventor project at the moment, but I'm marking it as "noted" so that 
we can come back to it at some point if it is feasible for us.

Maybe you could forward this to the Google Apps Team and the Google Gadgets 
Team and spark a possible collaboration discussion. :)

Google App Engine seems like a much smarter way to to host data and apps. Even 
media and images could be hosted here so the AI apps wouldn't be so dang large.

Maybe you can support this option by having the AppEngine team develop a class 
for the AppEngine api that communicates with TinyWebDB
