Easy ORM-ness for GAE, part 2

Posted by: Andrew Glover on 12/28/2010

As I’ve blogged and written about on various occasions, Google App Engine doesn’t just scale apps: it can also help you assemble them rapidly, using slick tools. Part 2 of “Twitter mining with Objectify-Appengine” wraps up the domain model for a Twitter-mining application, adding hooks for indexing and caching. The article ties everything together with Twitter’s OAuth authorization mechanism, GAE’s queues, and a splash of JSON and Ajax via everyone’s favorite JavaScript library, JQuery.
