Since Google Wave robots can only be deployed on Google App Engine websites right now and because App Engine is free until your website should be big enough to make enough money to pay for the website (which is awesome), I started to learn website development with/for Google App Engine.
After about 15 minutes of reading through the documentation I was ready to write the website for my Google Wave project. I’m lazy so that was pretty neat. After 10 hours of working on it, the site is almost done now, including a basic design that should do for now (I’ll add some Javascript stuff next). I used the small, basic web framework that comes with Google App Engine because I didn’t feel like learning Django, usually I use Ruby on Rails for websites and before that I developed with PHP for 5 years. I did look at the Java stuff for Google App Engine but that looked way too complicated, it would have taken me much more time to get started with that, never made anything web-ish with Java. I’ll probably look into that some more in the future though. I’m probably also going to look into Django when I find the time. I did go through a Django tutorial a year or so ago but I don’t remember that much of it 
I hacked through the night and up till noon, it was really fun to work with Google App Engine. I had a bit of trouble because some stuff that the web framework can do that I needed isn’t even mentioned in the documentation but I figured it out eventually. I’ll probably post a few code snippets that could potentially be a lot of help to others that use the web framework that comes with Google App Engine.
