Developing Solutions for Google Cloud Platform with App Engine

作为开发人员，学习永远不会结束。当我们习惯了某项技术，它就会改变。我们总是需要学习新的语言、框架、api和平台。

如果您还负责部署代码，那么您需要了解如何设置和配置web服务器、处理扩展问题和管理数据库。坦白地说，这可能会让人筋疲力尽！

那么，为什么还要花时间学习另一套技术呢？每当有新潮流出现时，我都会问这个问题。我想知道这将如何使我的工作，以及我的同龄人的工作更好或更容易。

在我的职业生涯中，我一直负责部署自己的代码。我想这就是为什么谷歌云平台能引起我的共鸣。它是一个理解开发者的平台。

那么，为什么要花时间学习appengine之类的东西呢？我认为答案很简单。因为您可以利用所有的开发经验，将其作为服务应用到一个平台上，从而消除了在生产环境中运行代码的大部分障碍。

让谷歌确保你的应用程序高度可用的价值对我来说是非常值得的。我们有一套丰富的工具用于本地开发和简单的部署，以及应用程序版本控制。同时使用我们习惯的编程语言和框架。

如果您正在寻找一个本地云平台来构建高度可伸缩的应用程序或移动后端，那么您就来对了地方。应用程序引擎提供了所有这些和更多。

本课程的重点是教您如何使用appengine提供的工具构建高度可扩展的系统。

我们将使用Flask构建pythonweb应用程序，并使用云数据存储作为我们的数据库。从一开始就有一段学习曲线。这就是本课程的目的，它可以最大限度地减少学习平台的时间，这样您就可以重新开始编写代码了。

源代码仍然存在：github.com/whelmed/gcp_soldev，所以您可以随意下载它，然后继续。

在这2小时的课程中，我们将涉及大量的数据。到最后，你应该会觉得开始构建自己的应用程序引擎应用程序很舒服。

如果您希望获得合格的解决方案开发人员认证，这也会对您有所帮助。

As developers, the learning never ends. Just when we get used to a certain technology, it goes and changes. We’re always needing to learn new languages, frameworks, APIs, and platforms.

And if you’re also in charge of deploying your code, then you need to understand how to setup and configure web servers, deal with scaling issues and manage databases. Frankly, it can be exhausting!

So, why invest the time in learning yet another set of technologies? That’s the question I find myself asking whenever some new trend comes along. I want to know how it’ll make my job, and the jobs of my peers better or easier.

Throughout my career I’ve been responsible for deploying my own code. And I think that’s why the Google Cloud Platform resonates with me so well. It’s a platform that understands developers.

So, why take the time to learn something like App Engine? I think the answer is simple. Because you can take all your development experience and apply it to a platform as a service that removes most of the obstacles to getting code running in production.

The value of having Google ensure your app is highly available is worth a lot to me. We get a rich set of tools for developing locally, and simple deployments, with application versioning. All while using the same programming languages and frameworks that we’re used to.

If you’re looking for a native cloud platform for building out highly scalable applications, or mobile back-ends, then you’ve come to the right place. App Engine provides all that and more.

This course focuses on teaching you about the tools App Engine provides to build out highly scalable systems.

We’ll be building out Python web applications using Flask, and using Cloud Datastore as our database. There is a bit of a learning curve to getting started. And that’s what this course is for, to minimize the amount of time spent learning the platform, so you can get back to writing code.

The source code lives on: github.com/whelmed/gcp_soldev so feel free to download it, and follow along.

We’ll cover a lot of data in this 2 hour course. And by the end of it, you should feel comfortable getting started building out App Engine applications of your own.

And if you’re looking to get your Qualified Solutions Developer certification, this is going help you with that too.

So, if this sounds useful to you, let’s get started!
