Yesterday I became the new Google App Engine API Expert (Python) for the Japan region. Google Experts are the equivalent for Google API Gurus as they are called in the ‘States. I will be helping out other developers in Japan to learn about and use App Engine and successfully deploy projects.
I’ve been playing with App Engine since just after it came out in 2008 and I’ve built a number of sites from my company’s homepage, to applications for internal use, to a site for sharing code snippets. I’m currently helping to test out new features, and provide information and support to Japanese developers. I hope that anyone interested in Japan and interested in App Engine will read my blog to learn more about some of the exciting things that are happening here with App Engine.
I hang out on the English Language Python, Java and App Engine General mailing lists, as well as the Japanese mailing list.
I hope to let people in the ‘States and elsewhere know about what’s going on in Japan and introduce them to Japan and it’s developers. Hope to talk to you soon!
