Getting Started

The first time I've tryed GAE I was editing the files in a normal text editor and running it from the command line ... not very pleasant!

Fortunately I've found this fantastic article on how to setup GAE with Eclipse :)

Check the tutorial video:

Now that you have your development environment ready to start, just follow GAE Getting Started guide from the simple Hello World application.
