Who this book is for
If you have been developing web applications in Python or any other dynamic language but have always been wondering how to write highly scalable web applications without getting into system administration and other areas that plumbing, this is the book for you. We will assume that you have no experience of writing scalable applications. We will help you build your skill set to a point where you can fully leverage the environment and services of Google App Engine, especially the highly distributed NoSQL datastore, to neatly knit and jot down a very robust and scalable solution for your users, be it a web application or a backend for your next killer mobile app.
