Google Cloud Platform for Developers
Description
Overview
This learning path will show you the tools ands services used by developers to build applications with App Engine.
We'll start out with an overview of the foundations of the Google Cloud Platform. This will help to provide context around the platform as a whole. And then we'll move on to learning about actually developing apps for App Engine.
App Engine is a platform as a service option that should definitely be added to your "development toolbox." App Engine allows us to develop highly scalable, highly available native cloud applications, running in the same data centers used by Google, for their systems. The ease of development, and managment makes it a great choice for any sized application.
