Google App Engine enables you to build web applications on the same scalable systems that power Google applications. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve to your users. This course gives you a solid foundation in what Cloud Computing and Google App Engine are as well as gets you started with the obligatory "Hello World" application.
