Welcome to DjangoCon Welcome to DjangoCon

DjangoCon 2008 opened this morning with a keynote speech on the Google App Engine given by Python creator, Guido van Rossum. Google has leveraged bits of Django directly and indirectly in their App Engine service and appears to be furthering that trend now that the Django project has hit 1.0.

Guido gave an overview of the App Engine architecture, how this differs from running a pure Django environment and how these parts apply to Google internal architecture. He also talked about a method to use large parts of Django 1.0 within your App Engine applications.
