My First Google App Engine Site: WhereDoKidsEatFree.com
I would like to introduce http://www.WhereDoKidsEatFreeToday.com, my first Google App Engine Site. It is a site that allows you to quickly look up what restaurants near you have free or cheap kids’ meals for a given day. I created it because I am both cheap and forgetful, and because I had been looking for an excuse to try out Google app engine.
If you are interested, it took about 600 lines of Python code and about 400 lines of HTML. If I wrote the Python code as “real” Python code it would have been about 400 lines and much more readable. Hopefully a future refactoring will get it better as I learn more Python idioms. I plan to post a series of entries on what I have learned about Python and Google App Engine over the next week, so stay tuned.
For now, however, please check the site out. I think the restaurant add functionality turned out well so it is really easy to add places you know.
