A picture is worth a thousand words, and as developers, you know that a working code snippet can be worth even more. The developers at scisurfer.com have agreed to share a few of their code snippets with you today. The snippets outline how they full text index their content and make it easily searchable for their users.---Many applications can benefit from full text search. Using Brett Slatkin's presentation at Google I/O, the implementation is pretty straight-forward. The following article gives you a practical introduction of how to implement...

Today marks a special day for us on the App Engine team. It was just forty-six years ago today that IBM announced the IBM System/360. As Wikipedia puts it, “It was the first family of computers designed to cover the complete range of applications, from small to large, both commercial and scientific.” One of the unique aspects of the S/360 was that customers could start with a small system while being confident that they could upgrade their system...

I'm Reza and work in London, UK for a startup called TweetDeck. Our vision is to develop the best tools to manage and filter real time information streams like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. We offer products like our TweetDeck desktop client built on Adobe AIR, and our iPhone application. We are happy to say that we use App Engine as key part in our backend.We're a small startup, so early on we started to look for tools that would give us the biggest bang for our buck. Combined with the fact we love Python, we thought it might be worth...
